Making CORN Cob Syrup at Home | Taste like Maple Syrup

This is SOOOO GOOD! Wow. I'm still impressed days later. We started with about 25-30 cobs of sweet corn cobs. Put them in a stock pot and added enough water to cover them. Brought to a boil for a good 30 minutes, and then simmered for another hour. Pull out the cobs, and then strain the liquid with a tea cloth. Bring back to a boil and add about 5-6 cups of brown sugar. Keep boiling it down. Once you get about 1/2 way reduced, you'll start to notice fine bubbles forming. Once there, it's time to start checking the temp. You're shooting for 220F temp as your target. Once you've reached temp, remove from heat, place into pint jars. And water bath can for 10 minutes. Jars will seal up, and you now have shelf stable corn cob syrup - that tastes like it came from a maple tree ♥

Thank you so much for mentioning us!! Love your page. She's been making that syrup for 50 years. I didn't know there was any other kind of syrup growing up.

Corn cob stock is amazing as well. Just cook the cobs down in water. We can it and use it in soups and anyplace chicken or veggie stock is used. Enjoy!

Oh, I went corn picking this morning, so I am excited to see this video. My town has a free you-pick field, so I could go back for more if I want to.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Miss 11 saw this video and was DYING to try it!... She is now a die-hard fan of food preservation! Your syrup won her heart ;-) So with 7 jars of syrup now in my pantry the only question was what to eat it on?...She has been eating biscuits, pancakes and she is even putting syrup on her Cachapas! Family time has now become communication as we preserve...what a blessing, what a legacy you have gifted our home * hugs* thank you Rachel.

The creamy bits off the corn have such good flavor. I wouldn't worry about it looking "pretty".

[raynasummers]

I could not be more excited for this video!! I processed over 100 cobs of corn, I now have corn syrup, corn cob jelly and corn broth in addition to 40 pint jars of canned corn. Thank you and all the other youtubers who put all this wonderful information on the internet!

Hi Rachel. Their is nothing you can do with corn. WOW, it is hard for you to do things indoors with the black out. But OMG, Rachel you are awesome, teaching all of us the best of Rachel. God Bless you sweet heart. I pray the lights go back on soon. Love you and Todd. Maria.

I would never have thought it possible to get a premium product from spent corn cobs. WTG Rachel.

I know this video is 2 years old at this point, but I have never forgotten about it. I was able to grow enough sweet corn in my garden to can this summer. I currently have a giant pot of this syrup boiling down! Can't wait to dig into it. Thank you again for sharing this!!

[morningwoodfarms]

Yep, you guys CAN definitely do anything! Omg Rachel, you are truly magical! That boil down sure beats the boil hours making maple syrup! Thanks for always being an exceptional teacher! 😗🙌👏🌽🥞👑💞

If the corn is milky once you take it off the cob, you can rinse it and use that rinsed water in with the cobs. And to keep the Cubs under use a slightly smaller metal lid and weight them down a bit. You can also ferment the corn cobs and then distill it and age it for whiskey.. Its a very versatile fruit.

I make syrup with just sugar, water and a few drops of vanilla and maple extract, so I'll make a syrup with water and sugar, and o e with corn cob water and sugar and compare the taste. Will be tasty experiment I'm sure. Side note: last year I grew corn and pretty much every year had worm damage that I had to cut away. This year I grew the corn under agribon covers until it grew too tall. This corn had zero worm damage, so I will grow corn u derived covers this way from now on.

[hodgesfarmtexas]

I found this in an old Mennonite cookbook my uncle gave me. I never add the vanilla but may try it. You could add maple syrup flavor if you like. Use a big pot because it will foam up some. It is not necessary to blend the sugar. I just drop it in. it is easy to overcook so make sure you check it's consistency periodically. I have overcooked it before and it will turn to sugar crystals. You can heat it up in microwave to dissolve them. Also, you can use this corn cob stock for a stock to cook soups in. Once I open the jar of syrup, I do keep it in fridge because it can get that mildewy foam on top just like maple syrup. Thank you again for mentioning us. On our TikTok, Facebook page and some of the videos we put on YouTube I have many more good ideas. We show our rain silo, how to make corn shuck garlands etc. Oh, an those red wattle pigs would love some of those spent corn cobs too! Thank you, Dawn Hodges Hodges Farm Texas

Rachel, I made Indian fry bread this morning and used your corn cob syrup for my syrup and butter on it. OMG I almost cried, it reminds me of Farmers Favorite syrup my Memaw always had when I was a kid. That company went out of business years ago and that is the closest thing I’ve found. Thank you again for sharing the recipe

[MaryBornforHealth]

I was always hated throwing away the cobs. I can’t wait to try this.

[janetlavoie]

Love my camp chef. I put some old doors up on my porch as a wind block...works great and easy to set up and then take down.

[kaydoodle]

Oh my wish I would have seen this yesterday! My chickens received about 150 or more of my organic corn 🌽 cobbs.

[Greens]

Rachel....this is the bomb!!!! I am so freaking excited to try this!!!! I will buy organic sugar and I have all my corn to harvest in the coming week or cats! What a great idea!!! This is going to b your best video ever!!! Thanks!!!!

[jamesbrown]

I honestly don’t think there is anything you cannot do!! You have blown my mind with this recipe for syrup. Never thought you could make it with corn cobs. If this video does not go viral I will be surprised.

[samanthaweber]

Thank you sooo much for this! I had no clue and tried this in disbelief. We were shocked how this worked. Its amazing and a game changer. We love to use as much as we can with out waste. This is going to be a great addition to your pantry!!
