Quick-Pickled Corn image

Red Thai chile peppers give pickled corn a kick. Simply slice raw corn into thick coins, let it soak in the pickling liquid for 24 hours, and serve it straight from the jar.

Yield Makes 4 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 1/2 cups cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup coarse salt
1 dried bay leaf
7 red Thai chiles, 3 of them split open
8 large ears corn, shucked
1 large red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring vinegar, 6 cups water, sugar, salt, and bay leaf to a boil, stirring to make sure sugar dissolves. Stir in chiles, and let cool until warm, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut corn crosswise with a heavy chef's knife into pieces about 1 1/2 inches long (you should get 4 or 5 pieces from each ear). Layer corn and onion in a very clean 4-quart glass jar with a clamped top or a lid and screw-top band. Pour warm vinegar mixture over corn and onion to cover completely (discard any leftover liquid). Leaving jar open, refrigerate until liquid is cool, about 1 1/2 hours, then shut jar. Refrigerate corn at least 1 day and up to 2 days. Serve cold.
