CORN RELISH

By Bea McManis
Corn Relish

This is the basic recipe. I add whatever I have from friends' gardens. Green tomatos; green and red pepper; corn etc. As long as it all chopped to about the same size as a kernal of corn. Although not in the recipe, I add a tablespoon of pickling spice (sometimes more, depending on my mood).

INGREDIENTS

2 cups fresh or frozen corn

2 cups chopped onions

2 cups chopped tomatoes

2 cups chopped seeded cucumber

1 large green pepper, chopped

1 cup sugar

1 cup cider vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoons celery seed

1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seed

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/4 cup corn starch disolved in warm water

DIRECTIONS

In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until thickened. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
