I've been making this for thirty years. Discerned the ingredients of a couple of commercial brands and set out on my own. I use this as a condiment, serving a couple of tablespoons to a serving.

How To Make corn relish -- an original

1
Chop all the veggies except corn to size of corn. And place in Medium sized pot along with undrained corn.

2
Add all the other items and stir well. Slow simmer for 30 minutes and stir occasionally.
3
Should have a syrup consistency. If not drain off some of the liquid and mix 2 or 3 tablespoons of corn starch in 1/3 cup of cold water and stir well.
4
While relish is at a slow to rolling simmer add the corn starch mixture and stir well. Corn Starch has to come to a slow or rolling simmer in order to thicken.
5
Pack in pint jars fairly dry and discard excess liquid, or find a creative use for it. Will keep for up to 2 weeks in fridge.
6
Note: 1/2 cup of Honey or Molasses could be added if you have a Southern bent. Or add a dash of Tabasco Sauce for a bit of a bite. You could make a bigger batch and can this for shelf storage or gifts.
