PICKLED CORN

Steps:

• Cut corn from cobs; place in a large bowl. In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until sugar dissolves, 1-2 minutes. Pour mixture over corn; cool. Transfer to jars, if desired; seal tightly. Refrigerate at least 2 hour before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

SMOKY PICKLED CORN

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add garlic, bell peppers, onions, and tomatillos; reduce heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly softened and peppers have brightened in color, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook or brown; they should be crisp yet tender. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• In a nonreactive pot, combine all the remaining ingredients except corn, and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Add corn; there should be just enough liquid to cover them. Return to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add reserved vegetables, and return to a simmer. Turn off heat, and allow to cool to room temperature, uncovered.
• Cover, and refrigerate. Will last for 2 weeks, covered and refrigerated. Serve chilled.

PICKLED CORN

Steps:

• Shuck and clean corn silk from fresh corn. We usually give this job to the children while they sit on the back porch.
• Fill a large stock pot with water and bring to a boil.
• Scald the ears of corn 2-3 minutes and remove to a kitchen table or counter to cool just enough to handle.
• At this point you can leave corn on the ears and pack in 1 gallon jars, lay ears in an 8-10 gallon crock or cut the corn off the ears and fill a clean white cotton pillow case with the cut corn then lay in your crock. We find the most consistent results with a crock.
• Use 1 cup salt to 1 gallon of water and stir to dissolve making your brine 1 gallon at a time because the amount you use will depend on whether you leave the ears whole or cut the corn off the cob.
• Once the corn is in jars/crock pour the brine over the corn to cover.If you use a crock lay a glass or stoneware dinner plate upside down over the top and weight it down with a large stone. If you use the gallon jars very loosely screw flats and rings on so the tops will not bulge or burst as the vegetable ferments.
• Cover crock with a loose cloth or cover with plastic wrap and tape to keep dust and bugs out.
• Set in a cool, dry place to cure for 4 weeks. Be sure to check the brine level every 7-10 days and make more brine as needed.
• If scum develops because of the fermentation, skim off, replenish liquid and recover.
• At the end of 4 weeks you may can the loose corn in canning jars according to directions for saurkraut or you may leave in crock. You just have to keep checking the liquid level and replenishing as needed.
• If using gallon jars, hand tighten and keep under refridgeration or can as you would saurkraut.
• To use: you may rinse and heat to boiling with a little water and butter or if you have pressure canned it you may eat straight from the jar. My husbands favorite way.

PICKLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Rinse the corn, and place in a large bowl with the salt and enough water to cover. Refrigerate until needed. Sterilize two 1quart jars in simmering water for 5 minutes.
• In a large stock pot, stir together the vinegar, sugar and pickling spice. Add the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to be sure the sugar has dissolved.
• Drain and rinse the corn under cold water. Add to the pot with the pickling mixture. Return to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove corn with a slotted spoon, and fill the sterile jars. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves from the liquid, and discard. Fill the jars of corn with the vinegar mixture to within 1/2 inch of the top. The corn should be completely covered. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth. Seal with lids and rings.
• Process the jars in a hot water bath for the time recommended by your local extension in your area. Most areas require about 10 minutes in a water bath of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Refrigerate after opening.

PICKLED CORN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the corn kernels, garlic, shallot, and serrano to a large, heat-proof jar (use multiple jars, if needed).
• In a small pot, combine the white and apple cider vinegars, sugar, coriander seeds, peppercorns, and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt.
• Strain the hot pickling liquid into the jar with the corn, discarding the whole spices. Let cool to room temperature before securing the lid. The pickled corn will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
• Enjoy!
