Exactly what I was looking for. I served over steak tacos. I liked it better when it was hot (temperature-wise, not spicy-wise) -
I utilized frozen whole kernel corn and subbed green onions. I l appreciated that the amounts were easy to reduce and the relish has a fresh light flavor from the lime. -
This is really good. I realized after starting to make this that I didn't have any lime juice or white wine vineagar, so I used half lemon juice/half white vinegar. It was perfect. I used canned sweet corn and served it warm. This is a keeper! Made for ZWT5 - Epicurean Queens

Yikes!! My daughter had fun in PaintShop Pro!! What she can do with a picture.
My husband and I live in the "bush" and hour from the closest town. Life here is quiet, yet so much more busy than when we lived in the "city". We grow our own veggies, several kinds of berries, and grow lots of hard neck organic garlic. We have 60 chickens, 4 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bird. Quite the menagerie.
I make all my own breads, and sell them (along with the eggs). I have a group of friends whom I make extra goodies for.
