- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions
Prepare the corn by shucking the ears and cutting the kernels off the cob. Measure 4 cups of kernels.
Finely dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion. Set them aside.
In a large pot, combine the corn kernels, diced peppers, and red onion.
Add white vinegar, granulated sugar, water, mustard seeds, ground turmeric, celery seeds, kosher salt, and ground black pepper to the pot.
Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the liquid has slightly reduced.
Taste the relish and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the relish to cool slightly before transferring it to clean, sterilized jars.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or follow proper canning procedures for longer shelf life.
