Question…does the hominy taste different than regular canned corn? I might have to try this. I'm finishing up making my first batch of scratch tamales. I have the maseca for the masa.
I’m so excited to learn this!! I’ve bought dried corns for long term food storage. We love tacos and NM foods and MX foods and that’s why I bought the dried corn, but quickly realized that I didn’t know how to treat it to make masa or hominy. Thank you so much!
I have watched both of your videos and am now dehydrating some corn and canning some. I have a question about canning the hominy, will I be able to dehydrate this when I need it, reason being is I don't have wet grider.
I don't have a "wet grinder" but I do have a stone grinder. After I nixtamalize the corn and dehydrate it, can I just run it through the stone grinder to get masa made for tortillas? Thank you!
I've always wanted to can posole but until now could never find info on canning hominy. If I can posole should I just treat it like a soup with meat and can it for that time?
Are you saying I can buy an instant pot instead of a presto or All American? Do you believe it is as reliable?? I wanted to buy an All American, but it said it's not made for a glass top stove, which is what I have.
Pam, I have a question…it was several weeks ago when I watched your other two videos on this subject and I just did a batch of nixtamalized corn and ran the initial water with the pickling lime down my sink into the septic. After going back and reviewing your other two videos, I saw you disposed of this somewhere on your property. I’m hoping I didn’t damage my septic 😯 is there anything I can do to rectify it? Thank you so much!
I had my daughter order the Nesco electric canner last night I have bigger canners but can't cann big batches at a time. I have 5 raised beds 3 are smaller. 2 bigger one's. Just got 2 more bigger one's but haven't put together yet. I love watching you. My daughter wanted me to get a cheaper one and I said you know what you're doing. Using testing. Thank you ❤️
Thank you for creating a book. I have quite a bit of corn and no idea what to do with it. ❤️
I don't know why I can see anything on the amazon affiliate link? What am I doing wrong?
Can you share a direct link?
I would like a video of you making masa with the hominy or nixtamal. I know that the healthiest tortillas are made of nixtamal. Thanks for your videos
I have received that error message on my instant pot 3-4 times when starting out with cold water and food. I have started putting the pot on saute for 15 minutes to start pre-heating the contents. I have not had an error message since doing this. Hope this helps.
Hi Pam & Jim, As you are a science professor, I was hoping you could assist me in Australia. I want to make some jam to water bath but cannot get clear jel in Aus. Is arrowroot a good substitute and if so what quantity is the equivalent to a packet of clearjel? Thanks to you both, love your videos and love your recipes. Liz
Your water problem in the jars is because you put too much corn in each jar. I canned some hominy this morning just like what you did, except I only filled my jars a bit more than half way with the Nixt corn. Then with 1” headspace of water. I still had plenty of water and the hominy expanded just fine. 🤓
👍👍👍👍👍
My grandma used baking soda. Her mother used lye. I like the idea of using lye because I keep lots of it around for soap making. What pH is your soaking water?
I have always loved hominy. Do you know how long dried hominy will store (in Mylar with oxygen absorbers?). I haven’t been able to find any good sites with an answer.
No liquid left after processing corn and or beans: I was watching another woman can kidney beans and noticed she filled the jars less than half full before canning. Do you think this is why she had liquid left around the beans after she removed them from the canner?
I only fill my jars half way with soaked beans and the rest water. My beans are always covered now and they always grow to fill the jar about 85% or so.
I would suggest putting fewer corn kernels in the jars but still filling up the jars to the usual headspace with hot water 🙂
I love this!
Can you put the smoked paprika brand on your amazon page?
Excellent video. I printed the instructions you provided the link to for using Baking Soda in case I ever run out of Pickling Lime. I bought a couple of 50 pound bags of this and have not quite accumulated enough Pickling Lime to be able to nixtamalize that much corn. Azure Standard has been out of Pickling Lime for at least a couple of months and Mrs. Wages is very expensive.
