Should I use fresh or frozen corn for this recipe?
The official Ball® Canning recipe calls for fresh corn but I have used freezer corn if fresh is not available. Fresh is best but in my opinion, if you use homemade frozen corn it is just as delicious.

How do you store corn relish after it is opened?
Once the lid has been popped, the jar is no longer shelf stable. To store the opened jar you can use the lid and close with the ring, storing in the refrigerator. Or use one of Ball® Canning Leak-Proof Storage Lids. These BPA free plastic lids feature an airtight seal, and are also perfect for baby food, herbs, spices, and food on-the-go.
How do you serve corn relish?
Corn relish is delicious served along side sausage and peppers, roasted chicken, fish tacos, on top of chili or added to a fresh tomato salsa for an extra layer of flavor. I would also suggest serving it as a side dish or with crisp tortilla chips. There are so many delicious ways to serve corn relish.
