PICKLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Rinse the corn, and place in a large bowl with the salt and enough water to cover. Refrigerate until needed. Sterilize two 1quart jars in simmering water for 5 minutes.
• In a large stock pot, stir together the vinegar, sugar and pickling spice. Add the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to be sure the sugar has dissolved.
• Drain and rinse the corn under cold water. Add to the pot with the pickling mixture. Return to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove corn with a slotted spoon, and fill the sterile jars. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves from the liquid, and discard. Fill the jars of corn with the vinegar mixture to within 1/2 inch of the top. The corn should be completely covered. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth. Seal with lids and rings.
• Process the jars in a hot water bath for the time recommended by your local extension in your area. Most areas require about 10 minutes in a water bath of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Refrigerate after opening.

AMISH CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• NOTE: This is NOT a "tidy" dish to make, so create it in an area that corn kernels can safely "fly away" and not mess up anything. When the Amish make it, they have every item to be added, at the ready, so when the corn is cut from the cob in the deep bowl, the rest of the ingredients are dumped in, stirred and served within one minute of processing. The corn needs to be served HOT so the butter melts and the cheese becomes soft.
• Determine pot size to boil corn in, based on volume of corn cobs. I use a 6 quart Dutch oven to boil 4 ears in, a large canning kettle to boil up to 12 ears.
• Heat the water in your kettle to boiling. I do NOT salt my water for this, as I want the corn to be as sweet as possible and also, the Amish I learned it from do not salt their water for this recipe, either.
• While the water is coming to a boil, shuck your corn but leave on at least 2" of the stalk end, so you have a handle to grab when you are cutting the corn kernels off off of the cob. The Amish use a pot holder or kitchen towel to hold the hot corn but I use a handful of sturdy paper towels to save my hand from the heat.
• Dice the Swiss cheese into the same size as the corn kernels. Place the diced cheese, the soft butter and the dash of cayenne pepper into a small serving bowl. Set aside; this will be added to the corn bowl immediately after shucking.
• Before placing corn cobs into the water, have the following items ready: a pair of tongs to remove the corn cobs; a pot holder/paper towels to hold the hot corn; a kitchen towel or paper towels to blot the water off of the corn cob and keep them warm; a super sharp knife to cut off the kernels, and a WIDE and DEEP heat-proof bowl to cut the corn kernels into. This deep bowl is where the cut corn and Swiss cheese will be mixed and served.
• When the water has reached boiling, add corn cobs. Heat for ONLY 1-2 minutes, only until corn is almost just blanched. The kernels should be crisp and *pop* in your mouth when eaten.
• With the tongs, remove the hot corn cobs and place onto the kitchen towel, to blot the water and stay covered, to keep in their heat while processing each ear of corn.
• Using the pot holder or paper towels, grab the handle of the corn and using the sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob into the deep bowl, starting at the top and working down. The faster you work, the hotter the corn kernels will be. It's okay if they come off as "strips" of corn; they will break up when you stir them with the other ingredients.
• After the corn has been cut from the cooked ears, immediately add the diced Swiss cheese, butter and cayenne pepper to the hot corn kernels and stir until the butter is melted, about 30 seconds. The cheese should still be in chunks, not melted. Taste to see if a wee dash of more cayenne should be added.
• Serve immediately. Since this dish is to be served very hot, what the Amish do is make multiple batches if more is desired. So, they'll make the 1st batch, eat it and enjoy it, make another batch, eat and enjoy that one, equally. As with many agricultural families, when a first crop comes in of anything: corn, tomatoes, potatoes, the farm family will make their first meal nothing but the featured food. So, with the first harvest of corn, the Amish make this corn dish the entire meal, nothing else is served except a dessert. This is also the way that I grew up, so I found nothing odd about this celebration of the first season's harvest.

PICKLED CORN

Steps:

• Shuck and clean corn silk from fresh corn. We usually give this job to the children while they sit on the back porch.
• Fill a large stock pot with water and bring to a boil.
• Scald the ears of corn 2-3 minutes and remove to a kitchen table or counter to cool just enough to handle.
• At this point you can leave corn on the ears and pack in 1 gallon jars, lay ears in an 8-10 gallon crock or cut the corn off the ears and fill a clean white cotton pillow case with the cut corn then lay in your crock. We find the most consistent results with a crock.
• Use 1 cup salt to 1 gallon of water and stir to dissolve making your brine 1 gallon at a time because the amount you use will depend on whether you leave the ears whole or cut the corn off the cob.
• Once the corn is in jars/crock pour the brine over the corn to cover.If you use a crock lay a glass or stoneware dinner plate upside down over the top and weight it down with a large stone. If you use the gallon jars very loosely screw flats and rings on so the tops will not bulge or burst as the vegetable ferments.
• Cover crock with a loose cloth or cover with plastic wrap and tape to keep dust and bugs out.
• Set in a cool, dry place to cure for 4 weeks. Be sure to check the brine level every 7-10 days and make more brine as needed.
• If scum develops because of the fermentation, skim off, replenish liquid and recover.
• At the end of 4 weeks you may can the loose corn in canning jars according to directions for saurkraut or you may leave in crock. You just have to keep checking the liquid level and replenishing as needed.
• If using gallon jars, hand tighten and keep under refridgeration or can as you would saurkraut.
• To use: you may rinse and heat to boiling with a little water and butter or if you have pressure canned it you may eat straight from the jar. My husbands favorite way.

CORN ON THE COB
