It's sweet corn season and I love creating fermented versions of traditional recipes! Chia seeds have a gelatin-like quality and give this recipe it's traditional consistency. See our previous post for making whey.
Sue's Fermented Sweet Corn Relish
3 cups fresh (raw) corn kernels
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/4 cup diced red pepper
1 tablespoon Chia seed
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 cup whey
1/3 cup raw honey
Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. Divide mixture into two quart-sized jars allowing room for expansion during fermentation. Place lid on jars. Stir relish twice daily. Ferment time: 2 to 3 days. Place in refrigerator where relish can be stored for 2 to 3 weeks.
Happy Fermenting!
