Prep time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Serves6 to 10
Directions
- Cook corn in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; let cool completely.
- Strip kernels from cobs with a sharp knife.
- Meanwhile, combine vinegar, 1/3 cup water, brown sugar, mustard, and coriander seeds, turmeric and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Stir in onion, and bell pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in corn kernels and jalapeño; simmer 1 minute more. Carefully transfer mixture to a 4-cup-capacity or two 2-cup-capacity jars.
- Top with more vinegar, if necessary. (Liquid should fully submerge corn mixture and reach about 1/2 inch from top.)
- Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 month
