Poblano Corn Relish

This zingy and tasty poblano corn relish is a favorite of ours during the summer months.
Servings 4 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp pickling salt
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds not ground
  • 1/4 tsp coriander ground
  • 2 poblano peppers stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/4 inch cubed pieces
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 Fresno or jalapeño peppers seeded, stemmed and finely chopped
  • 4 ears of corn kernels cut from the cobs

Instructions

Prep the veggies

  • Remoe stems and deseed the poblano and jalapeño/Fresno peppers. Finely chop into 1/4 inch cubes.
  • Slice raw corn kernels from the cob.
  • Peel and dice onions into 1/4 inch cubes.

Make the brine

  • Bring vinegar, water, sugar, salt, cumin seeds, and coriander to a boil in a Dutch oven over high heat.
  • Once boiling, add the poblanos, jalapeños, and onion. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes until the peppers and onion soften.

Make the relish

  • Remove from heat and stir in corn (the corn goes in raw).
  • With a ladle or funnel, portion the relish into jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  • Let cool completely and refrigerate for a few days to let the flavors develop.
