Corn Cob Jelly



12 large corn cobs
4 cups water
1 packet powdered fruit pectin (of 4 tsp of dry if you bought in bulk like I did)
4 cups sugar
4-6 drops yellow food coloring

Cut the corn off of the cob.  In stock pot place broken corn cobs with water.  Bring to boil.  Boil for 10-15 minutes.  Discard cobs, strain liquid through cheese cloth.  Liquid should measure 3 cups.  Add water if necessary.

Return to kettle, stir in pectin.  Bring to full rolling boil then add sugar.  Bring back to a boil.  Skim foam and add a few drops of food coloring.  Pour in hot jars leaving 1/4 inch head space. Process in boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
