Tips:
- Select the right corn: Use fresh, sweet corn on the cob for the best flavor. Avoid corn that is old or has blemishes.
- Remove the corn kernels: Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the kernels from the cob. Be sure to cut close to the cob to get as much of the corn as possible.
- Cook the corn kernels: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the corn kernels. Boil for 5-10 minutes, or until the kernels are tender. Drain the kernels and reserve the cooking liquid.
- Make the jelly: In a large saucepan, combine the corn cooking liquid, sugar, and pectin. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until the jelly has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the corn kernels.
- Pour the jelly into jars: Ladle the jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth and seal the jars with lids. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
