Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 5 ears of corn)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper, finely diced
- 1 small Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by shucking the ears of corn and cutting the kernels off the cob. You’ll need roughly 3 cups of kernels.
Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and finely chop the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat, if desired). Finely chop the red onion as well.
In a large saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, water, ground mustard, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and spices.
Add the corn, diced bell peppers, jalapeño, and onion to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let the relish cool slightly.
Transfer the relish to clean, sterilized jars if you plan to store it, or serve immediately as a topping or side dish.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
