I found an old coffee can filled with old recipes that my great-grandmother used from the 1920's through the 1970's. While I have yet to actually try any, I hope to this coming summer, as there are a LOT of recipes for preserves. Some of these recipes are handwritten, and many are torn from newspapers and magazines. Please enjoy, and let me know if you try any!

Salted Corn

A "before-and-after" recipe for corn - how to can it now and what to do with it next winter.

Boil corn on cob until tender, about five minutes. Cut from cob and add 1 pint salt to each 3 pints of corn. Stir to mix thoroughly and when cold, pack in clean glass jars. When ready to use freshen by placing 3 quarts water to each quart corn in a large kettle. Bring to boil, and repeat the process three times. Pour thru a colander. Heat corn, seasoning with 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1/2 cup cream, and butter the size of a walnut.
