Help! I Need A Recipe.

Last year I made pickled corn for a friend. A very simple recipe I found on line someplace. It was corn in a quart jar with salt, vinegar and I think a little sugar covered with distilled water. No processing. It was wonderful! Of course I didn't save the recipe and forgot where I found it, and nothing I search comes close. If anyone has the recipe I would love to have it. Thank you so much.

  3. Wow! I saw where you said you needed a recipe, and thought I felt the earth shift! No way!! lol

    Your illusive recipe sounds wonderful! I did a quick check through some of my books, but all recipes that are similar, require some cooking or processing, but I'll keep looking! I hope that someone finds the one that you are looking for!

  7. Here is another that is similar. I agree. .as talented as you are, you can create your own recipe!

    4 c. fresh corn kernels
    1 1/2 c. chopped green bell pepper
    1 1/2 c. chopped celery
    1 1/2 c. chopped onion
    1 1/4 c. sugar
    2 tsp. English style dry mustard
    1 tsp. salt
    2 tsp. turmeric
    2 tsp. celery seeds
    2 1/2 c. distilled white vinegar

    In a large saucepan combine all ingredients and 1/4 cup water. Bring the liquid to a boil, simmer for 15 minutes. Spoon the vegetables into jars, pour the liquid over them, and let the relish cool. The relish keeps, covered and chilled for about 1 month. Makes about 3 pints
