Corn Relish is good on any meat and I love it on fresh buttered bread. It's

a food group <grin>

 

 

Fresh Corn Relish

 

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1 1/4 cups whole kernel corn, yellow

1/4 cup diced onion

1/4 cup diced red sweet bell pepper

 

In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard, and

turmeric to a boil. Add the corn, onion, and bell

pepper, and cook for 4 minutes. Serve hot or cold.

Makes 1 1/4 cups

 

 

Corn Relish - Pickled

 

10 cups Fresh whole kernel corn*

2 1/2 cups Diced sweet red peppers

2 1/2 cups Diced sweet green peppers (I use all red peppers instead)

2 1/2 cups Chopped celery

1 1/4 cups Diced onions

1 3/4 cups Sugar

5 cups Vinegar (5 percent)

2 1/2 tb Canning or pickling salt

2 1/2 ts Celery seed

2 1/2 tb Dry mustard

1 1/4 ts Turmeric

 

*16 to 20 medium-size ears, or six 10-ounce packages of frozen corn is

equivalent to 10 cups fresh whole

kernel corn.

 

Yield: About 9 pints

 

Boil ears of corn 5 minutes. Dip in cold water. Cut whole kernels from cob or

use six 10-ounce frozen packages of corn.

Combine peppers, celery, onions, sugar, vinegar, salt, and celery seed in a

saucepan. Bring to boil and simmer 5 minutes,

stirring occasionally. Mix mustard and turmeric in 1/2 cup of the simmered

mixture. Add this mixture and corn to the hot

mixture. Simmer another 5 minutes. If desired, thicken mixture with flour

paste (1/4 cup flour blended in 1/4 cup water) and stir

frequently. Fill half-pint or pint jars with hot mixture, leaving 1/2-inch

headspace.

 

Adjust lids and process accordingly.

0 - 1,000 ft: 15 min.

1,001 - 6,000 ft: - 20 min.
