Pickled Corn in Jars

Fermented foods is an acquired taste.  If you only want to try a jar to two to make sure it's something you like.  I recommend buying a set of fermentation lids that allows the gases to escape.  These can be found on Amazon
  • You don't have to process pickled corn.  Once it has fermented, you just tighten the lids and store in a cool, dark place.  If you don't have fresh corn, you can use canned corn.  Many people prefer using canned corn since it make the job super easy to do.  
  • 1:  Shuck your corn and wash to remove all the silk.
  • 2:  Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Once boiling add the corn and put on lid.  Boil for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • 3:  Drain and put in ice cold water to cool.
  • 4:  Cut corn from the cob, but don't cream it.  You just want the corn kernels.
  • 5:  Fill quart or pint size jars leaving one inch headspace.
  • 6:  Put 1 tsp of canning salt per pint of a level tablespoon per quart.
  • 7:  Fill jars to the rim with room temperature water.  Don't use city water with chlorine.
  • 8:  Put lids on your jars but don't tighten them down.  The gas needs to escape.
  • 9:  Place newspapers on a shallow pan and sit your filled jars in a cool place to ferment.  
  • 10:  Let ferment for about 2 weeks.  Check to see if you need to add a little salt water to keep them filled. 
  • 11:  After corn is fermented to suit your taste, tighten your lids.
