Ingredients

• 9 large ears of corn
• 1 quart (950 ml) cider vinegar (at least 5% acidity, Heinz is good)
• 1 cup (225 ml) of sugar
• 1 tsp (5 ml) salt, use kosher if you can to prevent caking agents

• 1 medium head of green cabbage
• 2 medium onion, chopped
• 3 red peppers
• 2 green peppers

Preparation

• Cook corn in boiling water for 2 minutes.
• Dip the corn into cold water and cut grains from the cob.
• Chop the cabbage, onion and peppers into small pieces about the size of the corn kernels, and add to the corn.
• Mix vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices and heat to boiling.
• Add the corn and vegetables and boil until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Pour into sterile jars and seal. (Check with your local home extension office for directions for this relatively low acid recipe for canning times and pressure).
