Wow, sounds like you do as much canning as i do. I haven't canned corn as usually we can't get too much of it at a good price but I may go and get a gunny bag of it at the farm we visited a couple days ago and can some. Corn is my fav. Here in the Pacific NW we are very lucky to have so much fruit, berries and veggies in such abundance...we definately live in the "banana belt." I also can soups, stews and meat. Started doing this for my mom who is 88 years old and still lives independently. She had a pot of soup on the stove everyday of my life but a few years back she said she just didn't make good soup anymore so I started making it and canning it for her. I do split pea, winter veggy, chicken, turkey, chili and "Refrigerator Special" which is whatever is in the frig that I want to use up ...soup it and can it and we love it!
