Key Ingredients
Corn – Take four or five ears of fresh corn and remove all husks and silk. Then carefully slice corn kernels off each cob with a sharp knife. I found it easiest to stand each cob up on a cutting board and slice down vertically, removing as many corn kernels as possible. Apple Cider Vinegar – The acidity in the vinegar will aid in preserving this corn relish, keeping it fresh for a whole year. I prefer apple cider vinegar for its slightly fruity flavor, though white wine vinegar or white vinegar would work too. Sugar – If you prefer a sweeter corn relish, feel free to add an additional half cup of sugar to this recipe! However, I find that the corn adds a touch of sweetness to this dish, therefore just half a cup of sugar does the trick for me.
Chef’s Tips
To properly jar this corn relish, you need to start by sterilizing all jars and lids. Then, ladle the hot corn relish into each jar and seal with a lid. Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Once opened, keep jars in the fridge for up to two months.Wait a week or so for the acidity in the vinegar to mellow out a bit before enjoying. If you choose to enjoy this corn relish sooner, be aware that the flavor will be much stronger than if you wait a few weeks to have some.Feel free to play around with the flavors in this recipe! Like I said earlier, if you prefer a sweeter relish you can add a touch more sugar to this dish. Also, you can add any additional dried herbs that you’d like.
