Please state the name of the dried chilies for this recipe.
Hey Dora,
I use a dried red chili. I usually find them at my local farmers market but you could just use a pinch of dried red pepper flakes. Let me know how it turns out!

I don’t understand why this is not process in water bath canner for safely
Beverly, this recipe is for “quick pickling” and not canning. The corn relish is kept in the refrigerator so it does not need to be processed and sealed. I hope this clears thing up. Food safety is ALWAYS foremost in my mind and I would never share a recipe that would harm people.
