Thank you!!! We do not raise corn because the farmer raises 168 acres behind us. A friend on the other side of the county does and they freeze creamed corn and we can get the cobs from them.
Thanks SO much for the recipe! I watched as soon as it posted but couldn’t comment cuz I watched it on the television. Going for my 🌽 in the morning.👍🏻😉 Sending Blessings to y’all!
Hi! Sandra here, from Ontario, Canada. I came to watch *after* I made mine. Lol I have been surprised at what i find! Adding sugars, adding tartar, adding extra water to prevent crystals, are some variations i have seen.. I boiled a huge kettle of cobs full. My estimate is 5 dozen, or 60 cobs. I kept boiling it, after i removed the cobs, to Reduce. I added nothing to it. I strained it out with coffee filters, across a sieve. I then brought it back to boil and boiled another half hour and bottled it. I ended up with 3 pints. I have no idea is this will hold in the jars. Nor if it will be thick. But i certainly did a lot of Reducing! I have a light gold colour. I added no sugar, because it is Corn Syrup. I am.thinking of maple syrup. You do not add sugar or anything to it.... I love going on food adventures! I stopped buying store corn syrup about 25 years ago! I knew of the dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup, because they made it near me. And i knee about GMO corn, etc. I never really cooked with syrup, so it was not a huge loss to me. I still have a boughten bottle on my shelf, unopened! Ha! But i wanted to not waste my gift of cobs! Give it a roll! This is the first time i have canned corn and i did that with raw cut off corn. So i had all these virgin cobs! Perfect time to try it!
Hi!! There all kinds of recipes for spent cobs! Mine is more like a syrup for pancakes rather than a corn syrup for baking. I’ve never tried doing that- bet it takes a while, no?? Welcome to our community!
@@Our_Urban_Homestead yes it took a few hours om gas burner. I think i did 6 hrs boiling. I debated on doing sugar. But i really wanted to try making straight up Pure and see if it holds okay in sealed jars.
The problem with making your own syrup is the cost of your heat to cook the mixture which is more than the cost of buying syrup at the Store. The same applies with making your own soap and detergents.
thanks so much for the video I am making this at the moment and was wondering when you can the syrup how much head space do you fill to? im excited to see how this turns out :) thanks
Hi! Unfortunately I do not think it will work with just that water, The cobs need to boil for an hour to get all the sugar and flavor out. But you never know unless you try- so give it a shot and let me know!!
@@Our_Urban_Homestead not disappointed just expected something else. Is it even possible to make corn syrup from cobs? I know it can be made from either the kernel or the stalk but where about just the cob?
@@AKM8829 it’s different every time. I just taste it after adding and adjust it to how sweet I like it. Keep in mind it will become sweeter when it cooks down. When my grandparents taught me this, there was no recipe 😊
I did a "corn" search on your page to find the corn relish from your southwest eggroll video and got sidetracked with this video. I'm embarrassed to say that I was halfway through this video before I realized you are making Corn Syrup - like what I buy in the store to make peanut brittle. Duh. I used to always say, "I'm a blonde trapped in a brunette's body." Apparently this is still true.
🤣 This is actually much thinner than the syrup you use for peanut brittle. It’s more like a maple syrup consistency. We use it on pancakes and waffles…. Or my favorite- on a hot buttered biscuit!!
Biscuits and corn syrup!! 🌽 Great video love corn syrup. Ok love biscuits too. 😋
What’s not to love 🤣

It’s nice to have friends!! Hope you enjoy 😊
Alright that cornfields looking
Definitely gonna be trying this one for the summer when fresh corn is out. Thanks for sharing with us
My pleasure 😊 It's so good! Hope you enjoy!!
YUM!!!
It’s all I use ! Very good!
The yellow silk is a diuretic. Dry and use in tea or stock, or soup.
I knew they were good for something but couldn't remember! Thank you!
Corn silk is also good for bladder infections as well as baking soad

Lol- have you tried it yet?? I’m not sure why I’m just now getting the notification on this!
Well, its a little more than what I wanted to do...will try your ketchup....
It’s definitely a process 🤣
I saw a video on this last year and tried it but it didnt come out exactly right, so glad you did a video so I can adjust what I did 😬
Let me know how yours turn out! We love it!!
I think this could be done open kettle. That’s what I would do, like my tomato sauce.
I do many things open kettle, but for beginners I like to show the “correct” way 😉
@@Our_Urban_Homestead I totally get that 👍

You mentioned you mixed up your brown sugar. Was there something else in it, to prepare it?
I make my own brown sugar. It’s just white sugar and molasses ☺️
What you don't have a sous chef! 😁 thank you for sharing this recipe. I have always wondered how to make this.
Lol- I wish 🤣🤣

You do what you want. It’s not a waste to me. I know what’s in my food.
To each their own 😊
I was told my grandmother made this, I’m trying it for the first time
How awesome!! My grandma did this as well as my great grandmother - keep the family traditions going!
Can you use field corn for this? Our sweet corn has been gone for awhile
@@barbaraarrington9146 you can, but you’re going to need to add more sugar 😊
@@Our_Urban_Homestead can you also use reg white sugar so it's not dark?
@@barbaraarrington9146 yes 😊
thanks so much for the video I am making this at the moment and was wondering when you can the syrup how much head space do you fill to?
im excited to see how this turns out :) thanks
1/2 inch headspace…. You’re very welcome! It’s delicious!! Thanks for watching 💗
How long is the syrup normally shelf stable for? And is any acid required to help maintain the shelf life longer?
I have kept it on the shelf for 5 years with no problems. No acid is required due to the high sugar content 🙂
@@Our_Urban_Homestead awesome thanks!
Did you cook corn first?
Just took kernels off the cob , then did the process in the video ☺️
Can you PC this instead of waterbath lol I've never done that lol . . thank you
I think pc would burn it. Waterbathing is very easy! Let me know if you need help!
Can I do this with the water left after boiling sweet corn?
Hi! Unfortunately I do not think it will work with just that water, The cobs need to boil for an hour to get all the sugar and flavor out. But you never know unless you try- so give it a shot and let me know!!
@@Our_Urban_Homestead Next time I cook sweet corn I'm gonna shulk them and collect the cobs for boiling. TY.
I thought you were gonna make syrup from only the cobs.
@@gonova8412 sorry you were disappointed with the video.
@@Our_Urban_Homestead not disappointed just expected something else. Is it even possible to make corn syrup from cobs? I know it can be made from either the kernel or the stalk but where about just the cob?
What’s your ratio sugar to corn water
@@AKM8829 it’s different every time. I just taste it after adding and adjust it to how sweet I like it. Keep in mind it will become sweeter when it cooks down. When my grandparents taught me this, there was no recipe 😊
@@Our_Urban_Homestead ok. I have probably 80 cobs 😂 I can work with that. It’s going to be a long day
@@AKM8829 good luck!! It’s worth the effort!
Thank you so much! There is nothing like passing on what you’ve learned from your grandparents. That’s paying forward for all their hard work.
