Pickled Corn Recipes

Steps:

• Bring vinegar, 6 cups water, sugar, salt, and bay leaf to a boil, stirring to make sure sugar dissolves. Stir in chiles, and let cool until warm, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut corn crosswise with a heavy chef's knife into pieces about 1 1/2 inches long (you should get 4 or 5 pieces from each ear). Layer corn and onion in a very clean 4-quart glass jar with a clamped top or a lid and screw-top band. Pour warm vinegar mixture over corn and onion to cover completely (discard any leftover liquid). Leaving jar open, refrigerate until liquid is cool, about 1 1/2 hours, then shut jar. Refrigerate corn at least 1 day and up to 2 days. Serve cold.

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.

Steps:

• Make the brine: Combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, 2 teaspoons salt and the bay leaves in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut the corn crosswise into 1-to-2-inch pieces with a serrated knife. Add to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; transfer to a colander using a slotted spoon and rinse under cold water until cool. Add the bell pepper and celery to the boiling water and cook 2 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
• Pack the vegetables and jalapenos into a 1-quart jar, then pour in the brine. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Silk and wash corn.
• Place in large pots and bring to a rolling boil for 20 minutes.
• Pour off hot water and rinse in cold water.
• until corn becomes cool enough to handle.
• Cut corn from cob with a knife. (A tomato.
• slicing knife works great).
• Wash jars and lids in hot water.
• Pack corn into jars up to the bottom rim.
• (EITHER 4 QUART JARS OR 8 PINT JARS).
• PINTS add (1)level teaspoon salt to each jar.
• QUARTS add (1) Heaping teaspoon salt to each jar.
• Fill jars up to the top rim with warm water.
• Place lids and rings on jars VERY loose.Place in a cool place on a towel.
• Let it work for 9 to 14 days. As water goes down in jars, add a little salt and fill water back to rim.
• When pickling is done, tighten lids.

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.

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!
