How to Make Pickled Baby Corn

  1. Prepare 6 pint jars and lids. Wash jars thoroughly and sterilize according to your chosen method (boiling or steam).
  2. Combine: 1 red bell pepper (finely chopped), 1 green bell pepper (finely chopped), 1-2 hot green peppers (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference), and 4 cloves garlic (minced).
  3. Toss the pepper and garlic mixture gently and set aside.
  4. In a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan, prepare the pickling liquid: Combine 4 cups white vinegar, 2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, and 2 tablespoons pickling salt.
  5. Bring the pickling liquid to a rolling boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  6. Add 1.5 lbs (approximately 6 cups) of fresh baby corn to the boiling pickling liquid. Return to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Divide the pepper mixture evenly among the prepared jars. Pack the baby corn snugly into each jar, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top.
  8. Carefully ladle the boiling pickling liquid over the corn and peppers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles by gently running a non-metallic utensil down the sides of the jar.
  9. Wipe the jar rims clean. Place lids and bands on the jars, tightening according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  10. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet. Adjust processing time for higher altitudes according to your altitude chart. Let the jars cool completely undisturbed.
  11. Once cooled, check for seals by pressing down on the center of the lid. If the lid doesn't flex, your jars are sealed.
