Pickled corn on the cob

I've been making pickled corn for years using this method and I'm still alive and well. Stuck and wash your corn in cold water. Lay them on a clean towel and cut out any bad spots and remove all the silk. Place corn in a large pot. Bring to a boil and time it boiling for 9 minutes. Remove from stove and pour water and corn into a clean sink. Plug your sink and run cold water over your corn and let it set, drain and repeat again. Add ice to help it get cold. Once your corn is cold to touch, lay it out on a towel on your table. Clean your stone jar. Layer your corn so far up and add a handful of pickling salt over it and add a gallon of water over it, add next layer of corn and do the same thing until it fills up the jar. Leave room for your plate and rock to go ontop of the corn. Clean a medium side rock with a brush and water and rinse and repeat until rock is clean. Place rock into a clean not bleached white pillow case and wrap the excess case over the rock. Take a dinner plate that will fit upside down in your stone bar and place it ontop the corn, then place your rock ontop the plate. Take a clean towel and cover the top of the jar and i use electrical tap to go around the jar and i pull the towel down tight as I tape it. Let sit in a wArm place in your kitchen floor or building for 21 days. Best pickled corn ever. Never add vinegar it ruins it. When it's done remove the rock and place and the moldy looking film, rinse a piece of corn and eat it. To store it on the cob use big pickle jars like from a resturant to place corn in and cover it with brine in the jars and put the lid on. You can also cut it off the cob and place in quart jars and add brine over top of it. Hope this helps.

I finally made some last summer with Silver Queen cobs after stripping the kernels. Turned out tasting kind of like cornbread, pop corn, roasted corn, etc. And it was light brown in color, like chicken broth. Not sure I'll ever make it again, but I might try it with red cobs instead of sweet cobs and see if there is a difference. Now that I've been watching DD&D and seeing how some restaurateurs make soup bases by simmering cobs, shucks, and silks, I might have to add a lot more than just cobs to try next time. Young stalks are actually quite sweet and juicy in spots. About the time baby corn is ready, the stalks are edible. Or at least not too fibrous yet. I had Trucker's Favorite volunteers last fall that grew about a month when I was picking. Really interesting.

Gonzoe, I am so glad you liked the chowder! It is a great recipe . I had 2nds too ! As to the salad, I never have much luck with pasta salad until this one. I made a dressing that was really good...mine usually don't come out well but this one did so I will tell you what I did. I put about 1/2c red wine vinegar and a heaping Tbs Dijon mustard in the blender. I added a good pinch of salt and sugar and mixed that. I then added about 3/4c EVOO and buzzed again. I put a few splashes of Balsamic vinegar and also lemon juice to taste. For herbs I use Mrs dash Garlic mix sprinkled in. It was so good that I am not going to buy dressing anymore in the store. I just made it after reading several internet recipes. What about your salad was not good ? I bet we can fix it :) c

RECIPE: Fresh Corn on the Cob
Q
Comments (10)
method of preparing corn is to cook it in the husk over coals. When the coals are ready pick the corn and put it on the grill. The corn can actually go directly on the fire. The moisture in the husks keeps it from burning. Keep an eye on the husks, turning frequently. When the husks get brown, before they start to burn, the corn will be done. Pull back the husks, this is a little hot on the fingers but it is a good time to show off. Hand the ears around with the husk as handle. It cools in the air shortly after you have burned your fingers. We serve this with a stick of butter to rub the corn across. Sweet corn can be frozen on or off the cob and canned. It can also be dried.

I skip around...and end up getting every bite, just like those who approach it in a more orderly fashion.

Typewriter style. Left to right and back to the left to start the next row. But I don't eat much corn on the cob any more. Hard to find any that's good. They keep selling that blasted tasteless bi-color garbage around here and I want my corn to be tasty, not "pretty".

Corn on the Cob is priced at 5 for $1.00 at HEB grocery stores in Texas! That is according to my son who works in the College Station store...he loves to tell me about their super duper sale items!

Hey! I'm the one who started it over on cooking! LOL So I might as well answer here as well.

I eat it round and round. Although I'm not sure I've always eaten it that way. I might switch around.

I also just eat it plain. No butter, salt, pepper, etc.

Just bought 15 ears since they were on sale 5/$1. YUM!!!

Never tried it raw. I guess I'll take a bite before tossing it into the water just to see!!

Side to side. Butter. Used to be butter and salt, but I try to limit my salt, so I've gotten used to it this way. DS has been know in his younger days to eat it raw. Said it's good.

I bought 5 ears last week at walmart for 19 cents each. It was good.

When I had braces I started cutting my corn off the cob, and have never gone back. My kids do the same (even without braces)...

But if I were eating it on the cob it would be the same as cynic. LOL.

Also no added condiments. If it is fresh, it's sweetness and firmness stands on its own. (Please don't overcook it!)

No local corn around here for a while yet.... but it has shown up in the grocery stores and now I want some.

How do you eat it? Corn on the cob!
