Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Field corn, also known as dent corn or maize, is the best type of corn to use for making corn cob syrup. It has a higher starch content than sweet corn, which results in a thicker, sweeter syrup.
- Harvest the corn at the right time. The ideal time to harvest corn for corn cob syrup is when the kernels are fully mature but still soft and milky. This is typically about 20-25 days after the silks have emerged from the ears.
- Prepare the corn cobs. Remove the husks and silks from the corn cobs. Then, cut the cobs into 2-3 inch pieces.
- Grind the corn cobs. You can use a food processor, blender, or meat grinder to grind the corn cobs. If you are using a food processor or blender, be sure to chop the cobs into smaller pieces first.
- Extract the corn juice. Place the ground corn cobs in a cheesecloth-lined colander or strainer. Set the colander over a large bowl or pot. Use a spoon or your hands to press the corn cobs to extract the juice.
- Simmer the corn juice. Bring the corn juice to a boil in a large pot. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the syrup has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Store the corn cob syrup. Once the syrup has cooled, store it in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. You can also freeze the syrup for up to 1 year.
Conclusion:
Corn cob syrup is a delicious and versatile sweetener that can be used in a variety of recipes. It is a great way to use up leftover corn cobs, and it is also a healthier alternative to refined sugar. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own corn cob syrup at home. So, next time you have some extra corn on hand, give corn cob syrup a try!
