How to Make Ball® Corn Relish

It cannot be summer without sweet corn! Don't you agree? I am starting to see some roadside stands selling it by the dozens here in Iowa.

This Ball® Corn Relish recipe is a perfect way to save those fresh and sweet ears to enjoy in the winter months. I did not know I loved corn relish until I moved to this part of the country! It's wonderful paired with your next barbecued supper. Grab some Ball® Smooth Sided Half-Pint Jars and give this recipe a try.

Ingredients & Recipe:

MAKES ABOUT 6 (8 OZ) HALF-PINT JARS:

  • 2 cups white vinegar

  • 2/3 cup sugar

  • 1 Tbsp salt

  • 4 cups cooked corn kernels (about 8 ears)

  • 2 cups diced mixed red and green bell peppers (about 2 large)

  • 3/4 cup diced celery (about 2 stalks)

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion (about 1 small)

  • 1 Tbsp dry mustard

  • 1 tsp celery seeds

  • 1 tsp ground turmeric

DIRECTIONS:

  • Prepare your boiling water bath canner. Heat jars and lids in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil.

  • Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add corn, red and green peppers, celery, onion, mustard, celery seeds, and turmeric. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

  • Ladle hot relish into a hot jar, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim, apply lid and band to fingertip tight. Place jar in boiling water bath canner and repeat until all other jars are filled.

  • Process jars for 15 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove canner from heat, remove lid, and let jars stand in the hot water for 5 minutes. Remove jars from canner and check seals after 12-24 hours.

I did not can much sweet corn last summer, but I have big plans to pressure can lots this year! Do you can your own sweet corn? What do you like to use it for?
