I often chuck the left overs of a tin of sweetcorn in a jam jar when I get home. I put a dollop or two of something laying around the kitchen in and top up with boiling water. Seal the lid down tight and wait for the button to pop which signifies it has sealed properly.
Last time I tried black current jam pic attached, I liked the color of this,a sort of two tone Black and Yellow. I did not seal the jar properly this time and it fermented a bit, which meant it smelt a bit vinegary instead of sweet and sticky so , I was not happy with it. however I did get a couple of small bites on it. There were some whole black currents in it as well and I fancied using this in conjunction with some elderberries next summer, might sort out some better fish. I have tried different jams, peanut butter and cinnamon with varying results. However, just an interesting way of not throwing away a bit of sweetcorn.
Next time I am going to put a table spoon of Parmesan or grated cheddar cheese in which I hope will melt and coat/ partially soak into the sweetcorn. I am also going to dye some of it red with some food coloring. I noticed the coloring I bought contains paprika; should do no harm.
Obviously a good chub bait possibly but, I fancy this for some big roach as well.
