Corn Relish

Corn Relish

Diana Rattray
This is a flavorful corn relish with a little heat from jalapeno peppers or other hot peppers.

Ingredients:

  • 9 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen thawed
  • 2 pounds sweet onions, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped red and green bell pepper
  • 1 cup finely chopped hot peppers, such as Hungarian red wax, jalapenos, etc.
  • 3 cups cider vinegar (at least 5% acidity)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon canning salt or kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

Preparation:

Prepare the jars and lids. Fill a boiling water canner about halfway with water. Add the jars and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and keep jars hot. Scald the lids and keep in the very hot -- not boiling -- water.

In a large kettle combine corn, onions, bell peppers, hot peppers, vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard, celery seed, and turmeric. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

Spoon the relish into the hot jars and wipe rims and jar threads with a damp paper towel. Using a jar lid magnet or tongs, fit the jars with lids and screw on rings tightly.

Place on a rack in the canner and lower into the water. Bring back to the boil, cover, and boil gently for 15 minutes.
Makes 6 to 7 1-pint jars.
