Sweetcorn relish.

You all seem to be such proficient chefs. Well here is a place to share some of that cooking knowledge. Or do you have a cooking problem? Ask away. Jams and chutneys go here too.

Sweetcorn relish.

Post: # 74386Post SarahJane »

I am having a mad spurge on making chutneys, pickling etc and on my search for recipes I found this one, which is very easy and lasts 12 months.

Ingredients:
1 green pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 red pepper, seeded and finely chopped
45 ounces corn kernels
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds, crushed
2 teaspoons celery seeds, crushed
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 1/2 cups white-wine or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mustard powder
1 cup firmly packed soft brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
2 tablespoons water




Directions:

Place all the ingredients, except the cornflour and water, in a large pan. Stir over low heat for 5 minutes, or until all the sugar has dissolved. Simmer for 50 minutes, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, combine the cornflour with the water. Add to the pan and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture boils and thickens. Spoon immediately into clean, warm jars. Use a skewer to remove air bubbles and seal. Turn the jars upside down for 2 minutes, then invert and leave to cool. Label and date. Leave for 1 month before opening to allow the flavours to develop. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months. Refrigerate after opening


I thought that I might give this one a go at the weekend.

Now that is one of my favourite relishes! Thanks for posting that one... will need to use canned corn as we've not grown any, but will still give it a whirl.
