Corn Relish

[horseshoer]

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.

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.
