Pickled Sweet Corn Rainbow Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Cook corn in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; let cool completely. Strip kernels from cobs with a sharp knife.
• Meanwhile, combine vinegar, 1/3 cup water, brown sugar, mustard and coriander seeds, and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in onion, celery, and bell pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in corn kernels and jalapeño; simmer 1 minute more. Carefully transfer mixture to a 4-cup-capacity or two 2-cup-capacity jars. Top with more vinegar, if necessary. (Liquid should fully submerge corn mixture and reach about 1/2 inch from top.) Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 month or can with our helpful instructions.

Steps:

• Put the peppers, pineapple, celery and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. While streaming in the olive oil, pulse until combined but still coarse. Season with salt and a little bit of the pickling liquid from the peppers if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan. Tip in the shallot and cook for 5 mins until softened. Stir in the remaining ingredients (except the coriander) with ½ tsp salt.
• Bring to the boil, then cook for 10 mins until the corn is golden and the sauce coats the kernels. Add the coriander, if using, and leave to cool. Serve with hot dogs, burgers or pork chops.

Steps:

• Cut corn from cobs; place in a large bowl. In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, salt, pepper and pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Shuck and clean corn silk from fresh corn. We usually give this job to the children while they sit on the back porch.
• Fill a large stock pot with water and bring to a boil.
• Scald the ears of corn 2-3 minutes and remove to a kitchen table or counter to cool just enough to handle.
• At this point you can leave corn on the ears and pack in 1 gallon jars, lay ears in an 8-10 gallon crock or cut the corn off the ears and fill a clean white cotton pillow case with the cut corn then lay in your crock. We find the most consistent results with a crock.
• Use 1 cup salt to 1 gallon of water and stir to dissolve making your brine 1 gallon at a time because the amount you use will depend on whether you leave the ears whole or cut the corn off the cob.
• Once the corn is in jars/crock pour the brine over the corn to cover.If you use a crock lay a glass or stoneware dinner plate upside down over the top and weight it down with a large stone. If you use the gallon jars very loosely screw flats and rings on so the tops will not bulge or burst as the vegetable ferments.
• Cover crock with a loose cloth or cover with plastic wrap and tape to keep dust and bugs out.
• Set in a cool, dry place to cure for 4 weeks. Be sure to check the brine level every 7-10 days and make more brine as needed.
• If scum develops because of the fermentation, skim off, replenish liquid and recover.
• At the end of 4 weeks you may can the loose corn in canning jars according to directions for saurkraut or you may leave in crock. You just have to keep checking the liquid level and replenishing as needed.
• If using gallon jars, hand tighten and keep under refridgeration or can as you would saurkraut.
• To use: you may rinse and heat to boiling with a little water and butter or if you have pressure canned it you may eat straight from the jar. My husbands favorite way.

Steps:

• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
