Do any of you carry on the old farm tradition of making corn cob
jelly? Most people I mention it to don't know what I'm talking about,
so then I have to make a batch so they can taste it.

I have the recipe but, alas, no corn in the garden.

We only ate the corn off the cob and then tossed the cob. No corn cob
jelly on that farm.

I do not. To me it tastes mostly like sweet and not much else; IMO a
waste of sugar and pectin. YMMV.

OTOH, I have made "Can't Be Beet" Jelly, the flavor of which comes from
a package of Kool-Aid. I brought some to a fund-raiser for sale and one
woman hunted me down hoping for more.

I was a city chile with a farmer's heart, does that count? I save a few
cobs for the smoker. I originally wrote "for smoking" but somehow that's not
the same...
I did make peach pit jelly one year. Lovely light color, but as was said,
a waste of pectin and sugar. I want the real deal.
