REFRIGERATOR CORN RELISH

Refrigerator Corn Relish image

This colorful, mildly spicy relish is sweet, but not as sweet by a long shot as many corn relish recipes I've seen and tasted. It goes well with everything from burgers to tofu sandwiches. You can add more chiles to the recipe if you want a spicier relish.

Ingredients

3 ears corn
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup raw brown (turbinado) sugar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 small or medium red bell pepper, finely diced
1 small or medium green bell pepper, finely diced
1 serrano or jalapeño chile, minced (more to taste)

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add corn. Boil 3 minutes and transfer to a bowl of ice water. When corn is cool enough to handle, pat dry and cut kernels from cobs. Set aside.
In a medium-size, heavy pot combine vinegar, sugar, water, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, celery seeds and salt and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar has dissolved and add onion. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add peppers, garlic and chile and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in corn and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and pack into hot sterilized pint jars. Seal and allow to cool. Store in the refrigerator.

This recipe is way too spicy for me. I'll have to cut back on the jalapeño next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my relish turned out too sweet. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I added some chopped cilantro to the relish and it was a great addition. I think it would also be good with some diced avocado.

The combination of sweet corn, crunchy bell peppers, and tangy dressing is perfect. I also like that you can adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapeño.
