PRESERVING AND CANNING
TO CAN CORN WITHOUT ACID After cutting corn from the cob, put it into a granite sauce kettle, with enough water to cover, and boil as for table. When nearly done, add 3/4 pint of salt for every 8 pints of corn and boil 10 minutes longer. Can in glass cans. Be sure to have brine enough in each can to cover corn; if this is neglected the corn will spoil.
To prepare it for the table: Take the corn from the can, drain off the brine and cover to about 2 inches with water. Boil 10 minutes and drain again; then add 1 pint of sweet milk, 1 tablespoonful of sugar, and season with butter and pepper.
