Quantity: An average of 31-1/2 pounds (in huss) of
sweet corn is needed per canner load of 7 quarts; an
average of 20 pounds is needed per canner load of 9
pints. A bushel weighs 35 pounds and yields 6 to 11
quarts–an average of 4-1/2 pounds per quart.

Quality: Select ears containing slightly immature
kernels or of ideal quality for eating fresh. Canning
of some sweeter varieties or too immature kernels may
cause browning. Can a small amount, check color and

minutes in boiling water. Cut corn from cob at about
three-fourths the depth of kernel. Caution: Do not
scrape cob.

Hot pack–To each clean quart of kernels in a
saucepan, add 1 cup of hot water, heat to boiling and
simmer 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt per quart to
the jar, if desired. Fill jars with corn and cooking
liquid, leaving 1-inch headspace.

Raw pack–Fill jars with raw kernels, leaving 1-inch
headspace. Do not shake or press down. Add 1 teaspoon
of salt per quart to the jar, if desired.
