It’s been a pretty stressful month, but I still managed to find the time for some pickling. This time around I didn’t even try to be seasonally appropriate:
Now the official name for this recipe is “Fiesta Corn Relish” (another recipe from The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserves), but it’s not much like a relish in my opinion … what it really is, is pickled corn niblets with some red pepper and onion for color. And I love corn ^_^.
There’s also a small jalapeno, garlic, cumin and cilantro in there, so the flavor is sweet and sour with just a little bit of heat. The cilantro blends in well, too, and I say this as someone who hates cilantro. Or used to hate it, at least; this wouldn’t be the first time I’ve developed a taste for something that I previously hated. Mixing it in with corn probably helped.
