8 cups Cooked Sweet Corn Kernels, Cut From The Cobs Of 10 To 12 Medium Ears
1-1/2 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
1 cup Finely Chopped Onion
1/2 cups Diced Poblano Pepper
2-1/2 cups Distilled White Vinegar
1-1/4 cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Mustard Seed
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Coriander Seed
1/2 teaspoons Celery Seed
1/2 teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper
2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1/4 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/4 cups Water
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch

1
A couple notes about the sweet corn: Only use the freshest, most tender sweet corn you can find. I learned the hard way that an ear or two of tough or mushy corn can ruin the whole batch. I test every ear I cut now! Also take care to not overcook the corn on the cob. After adding the corn to boiling water, and after the water returns to a boil, only cook the ears for about 3 minutes. Then cool immediately in cold water.
2
In a large bowl, combine the corn, red pepper, onion, and poblano pepper. Set aside.
3
In a large pot, combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, cumin, coriander seed, celery seed, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then add the corn mixture. Return to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Spoon off any accumulated foam.
4
Stir together the water and cornstarch and then stir it into the corn mixture. Turn heat up to medium and cook for 5 minutes, or until mixture starts to thicken, stirring occasionally.
5
Ladle into 4 pint or 8 half-pint sterilized canning jars. Cover jars with lids and screw on the bands. Let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for up to 3 months.
