I thought this recipe sounded really good, and used it as a base to create Mexican Corn Relish #37294. Made a few changes, just mostly for taste. Thanks to Diana Neal for posting the original recipe.

I dont even like relishes as a rule but my husband insisted as we had a lot of corn in the garden.I was pleasantly surprized at how good it tastes, and pretty in the jars,too!

Sounds Gr8 and Will Definitely be Making it this year Kids Love Salsa and If I Add this to a can of Diced Tomatoes and a touch of Heat they will gobble it up and NEVER even realize they are eating Their Veggies One Note: For those of Us who Have Black thumbs... Corn Cob Yields Approx . 1/2C So 20 Cobs Is About 10Cups (if Your Buying Frozen)

I have made this recipe twice in the last 3 months, it is so good I've decided to give it as Christmas presents this year to my clients. My friend and I just get a fork, sit down by the TV set and eat it right out of the jar. Very Good!

Cant use green pepoer so I added yellow instead. Actually made it slghtly sweeter. For a change the addition of 1 small shredded carrot added colour but didn't change te flavor or texture. Turned out lovely
