Corn Relish

Had an abundance of sweet corn, this is a relish I make every year. I had the corn, peppers, onions, in the garden and the day off so timing was too good to let pass by.

Corn Relish-
10 c fresh kernal corn
1-1/2 c ea chopped red & green bell pepper
1 c chopped onion
1 c chopped celery
4 c white vinegar (5% acidity)
2-1/4 c sugar
1 c water
2 Tbsp mustard seed
1 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp pickling salt

In a 6-8 qt saucepan bring all ingredients to a boil and boil over med-high heat for 15 min., stirring occasionally.

Fill jars to within 1/2" of top, seal, process in boiling water bath for 15 min.
Makes about 7 pts.

Where the heck are you storing all that canned food Jeff?

It's gotta look like an ole country store in your house by now! :D

Question about the corn relish. How do you cut to corn off do you boil corn on cob then cut kernals off or cut them off before cooking?

Yes you blanch it first in boiling water for 5 min then put it in very cold water to cool then scalp it off the cob. To be honest this is a recipe I found in either the Kerr or Ball canning book many years ago. I have made different recipes for corn relish since (not for quite a while now), and had samples of other folks' but this is the one my taste buds cotton to.
