Sweetcorn relish recipe

[British Red]

Heres "my" method of sweetcorn relish. It makes a lot but its easy to do a third of the recipe.

Its all the stuff that there should be loads of surplus around now or soon - peppers, celery, maize, onions etc. A good way to use up all that allotment stuff ;)

Put 750g or white sugar in a steel saucepan

Pour on 1.5 litres of white distilled vinegar

Gently warm the pan until the sugar has dissolved then take off the heat

Add 1.5kg of sweetcorn kernels. Frozen works but if you have access to fresh this time of year, thats about 20 ears (loads in the fields round us)

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes stirring regularly.

Take 45ml of salt and 10 ml of pepper and stir it into the pan.

Then take 45ml of cornflour and 45 ml of mustard powder.

Mix the powders and gradually mix in water to make a paste like thick batter

How long will it keep BR?

[BigShot]

DROOL!
Red, that stuff looks LUSH and is really making my mouth water.

Is it as nice as I imagine it is, or am I just hungry? Haha.

What would you use it for/on/with?

[British Red]

Should be good for a couple of years unrefrigerated B_C.

I like to use it as burger relish or with spicy slami in a butty BigShot. Its a nice cool sweet relish - try the chilli one for livening stuff up :)
