Pickled Corn and Peppers
- 1 1/3 cups apple cider vinegar
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
- Kosher salt
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 ears of corn
- 1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 1/2 red or orange bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 1 stalk celery, peeled to remove strings, cut into thirds
- 2 small red jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
- Make the brine: Combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, 2 teaspoons salt and the bay leaves in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Cut the corn crosswise into 1-to-2-inch pieces with a serrated knife.
- Add to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; transfer to a colander using a slotted spoon and rinse under cold water until cool.
- Add the bell pepper and celery to the boiling water and cook 2 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
- Pack the vegetables and jalapenos into a 1-quart jar, then pour in the brine.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 1 week.
