Canning Corn!

Today I finally got brave enough to attempt using my pressure canner to can corn with. My mother canned when I was growing up but we were never allowed in the kitchen while she was doing it, incase it blew up! So needless to say I proceeded with a large amount of caution and a little fear!

However it was soo easy! Actually easier than the hot water bath canning that i had been doing. I only had 6 pint jars left so thats all that I canned. The rest of the corn that i had prepared went into the freezer. Since there is just the two of us and sometimes Preston if i had canned in quarts a lot would have went to waste. We arent very good about eating leftovers!

Is there anything prettier than a row of jars full of fresh canned fruits and veggies?
