Canning question.
Going to harvest my sweet corn today and try to can it. I canned some last
year and it came out tasting fine but turned a funky brown color. I went exactly by the Ball Blue Book directions which had never failed me before. Anybody know what causes this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Fruit Fresh is the brand name usually found in NC. Food Lion has it. Crushed Vit C tabs will also work.

I guess I should have qualified that you shouldn't use the flavored Vit C tabs. I buy the El Cheapo store brand and they are basically tasteless when used in canning. The Fruit Fresh costs about three to four times what Vit C costs.

Seems like I remembered something about citric acid for the problem.

Canning question.
It's the sugar carmelizing (caramelizing???). It sucks, especially when
that's all I can find locally... itmakes any corn relish look ancient and unappealing... even if iy's just past it's 24 hour cooling period...
