Homemade Corn Relish

This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Barger Estate in Mckinney, Texas in 1997.

Ingredients

Method

1
Shuck the corn and remove the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife, working over a large bowl to catch the kernels and any liquid.
2
Combine the corn kernels, diced sweet red peppers, diced green peppers, chopped celery, and chopped white onions in a large non-reactive pot.
3
Add the vinegar, sugar, salt, celery seed, dry mustard, and turmeric to the pot and stir well to combine all ingredients.
2 minutes
4
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5 minutes
5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the relish uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and the mixture has thickened slightly.
28 minutes
6
Taste the relish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or vinegar as needed.
7
Transfer the hot relish to sterilized jars, filling them to within ½ inch of the rim, and seal according to standard canning procedures, or cool and store in the refrigerator in airtight containers for up to 3 weeks.
