Old Fashion Pickled Corn

Thank you all so much for looking for Pickled Corn recipes for me. This is the one I decided to make and the one most like the one I made last year. My friend Edie found this one. But before we go any further let me tell you what I was told by the local extension office. This process is not FDA approved. That's all I'm going to say about that. You use your own judgement. It is sealed and many a grandmother has made this over many years. I personally have never known anyone to die or get sick from eating this.

The original recipe does not say to process at all. I did process mine for 15 minutes in a hot-water canner.

This solution is more than enough for 18 pints. I used 3 dozen ears of corn for 9 pints.

Pickled corn

1 gallon cold water
3/4 cup salt
1 cup vinegar (I used white)
Corn

Cook corn on the cob, cool in cold water and cut off cob. Pack jars, not to tight with corn, then fill with above solution. Remove air bubbles. Have seals hot and seal.

  6. This is the recipe that my Grandmother used. When she was going to can it. She also used the crock to put corn on the cob to pickle it is a lot more work. the only thing my grandmother went by the signs. I am going to try some when the sign is not right to see if there is any difference. If any one makes it at any time let me know how it does.
