This fresh corn salsa is a delicious, healthy appetizer that will remind you of CSA produce all year long. Such a healthy recipe for canning!

I would love to have a pantry filled with jars of homemade jams and salsa, at least 30 jars of each.

That dream is a little far away right now, but I do have a few jars of jam on the shelf. This recipe is my first step toward filling the salsa shelf.

My husband’s aunt makes amazing homemade pineapple salsa, which I will be trying to replicate one of these days. But for now, this fresh corn salsa will do. I adapted this recipe from a corn salsa in the Better Homes and Gardens Can It! cookbook, and it’s the perfect match for what I got from my farm share this week. I think it’s absolutely delicious – tart from the lime, sweet from the corn, and just the right amount of spice. It will take great restraint for me to leave these jars in the cabinet past next week.

This salsa is wonderful on its own, but you could also mix it with a mashed avocado for a quick, flavorful guacamole.

Fresh Corn Salsa Price Breakdown

The total cost of this salsa is $4.39, or $1.10 per half-pint jar. Most of the ingredients I used are organic, so this is a great price. And the taste is much better than what you can buy in the store.

      I think it should keep for up to a year or more as long as the jar is in good condition and the seal is intact.

    YUM!!! I forgot my brother-in-law makes corn salsa with his fresh ears…I have to remember to ask them for some. First time I tried this it was so incredibly delicious, just looking at your photo is making me hungry for corn salsa and chips!

    Thank you so much for sharing this! Some years ago I was given a recipie simular to this but with added Black Beans & cilantro. Also, I pan roast the cumin then grind it, such a wonderful taste as to already ground cumin.

      Thanks for your comment! I was thinking about adding black beans to this the next time I make it. I’d love to know if you process your recipe in a water bath or just refrigerate it.
