How To Make easy corn relish

  • 1
    Clean and shuck corn. Remove niblets from cob with a sharp knife (or use frozen corn). Place corn niblets in a large pot.
  • 2
    Wash and dice all remaining vegetables. The idea is to have everything about the same size as the corn.
  • 3
    Add vegetables, seasonings and vinegar to the corn in the pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Allow to simmer 20 minutes, without a lid on, stirring occasionally until the liquid reduces by about half. It will not be very thick, but that's ok.
  • 4
    Ladle into prepared canning jars. Seal jars and process in boiling water for 15 minutes. This is best stored for at least a week before serving but it can be eaten the next day.
