(1 Reviews) |  Rate this Recipe   |  See Reviews

Enjoy the flavor of fresh picked corn by capturing it in this colorful relish. This refrigerator relish tastes as good as old-fashioned home-canned pickle relish, but with lots less fuss.

Makes 4 pint or 8 half-pint jars.

Prep Time: 45 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

6 cups cooked whole kernel yellow corn (9 to 12 medium ears)

1 1/2 cups diced red bell pepper (1 large)

1 cup diced green bell pepper (1 medium)

1 cup finely chopped onion (1 medium)

2 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar (5% acidity)

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 teaspoons McCormick® Celery Seed

2 teaspoons McCormick® Mustard Seed

2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Red Pepper, Crushed

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons cornstarch

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix chopped vegetables; set aside. Mix remaining ingredients, except water and cornstarch, in 6-quart saucepot. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Add vegetables; return to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. Spoon off any foam.

2. Mix water and cornstarch; stir into corn mixture. Cook 3 to 5 minutes on medium heat until mixture starts to thicken, stirring occasionally.

3. Ladle into 4 hot sterilized pint or 8 half-pint canning jars. Cover jars with metal lids and screw on bands.

4. Refrigerate relish. Store in refrigerator up to 3 months.

Tips

To Cook Corn: Husk corn, remove silk and rinse well. Cook ears of corn in boiling water (after return to boil) 3 minutes. Cool in cold water. Cut kernels from cobs. Do not scrape cobs.
