Red Corn Relish

I love all the chopping and mixing to make a good relish. There is something fun about combining lots of fresh ingredients from my garden.

I happened to have all the vegetables I needed for this recipe except for the cucumbers and my neighbor who gardens across the fence from me, shared a couple from her garden.

Just a note - do not decrease the vinegar. Because vegetables are low acid, they need to be either pickled or pressure canned to preserve safely.
