Today We Have Corn

From the (BOOK) It is harvest time of the corn ears. We all know how good that is with hot butter. Now do not throw out the cob.

Uses for the corncobs are many. They make nice playthings for the children--building logs and such. When added to the fireplace they make a bright light. They can be used for smoking hams and bacon. They have a traditional use as toilet "paper" for the outhouse. Now don't laugh I can remember that down on my grandfathers farm. Not that I used one or that I remember if I did. But we are going to make something good with the cob. (Corncob Jelly.) Break 12 corn cobs into small pieces. Boil in 3 pt. water for 30 minutes. Then strain. To 3 cups corn juice, add the juice of 1 lemon and a box of commercial pectin. Bring to a boil. Add 3 c. sugar and boil 3 minutes longer. Pour into jars and seal.

Now just look at that mm mm, yes we can.

I do remember my Big Daddy made his pipe's out of corn cobs and after supper he would sit out on the porch and smoke.
