Full of fresh corn, bell pepper, and, of course, green chiles, this is a sweet hot sour relish that can go on a hot dog or burger or served as a side dish. Note: this is pretty hot. You might want to use half hot, half mild or medium chiles or reduce the amount of chiles.
Ingredients
  • 4 ears corn, husked and cleaned
  • 2 cups peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped tomatoes (1 lb)
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • ¼ peeled cucumber, chopped
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp celery seed
  • ½ tsp mustard seed
  • ¼ cup diced hot green chiles
Instructions
  1. Cut the corn from the cobs, then scrape the cobs with the edge of the knife to remove remaining pulp.
  2. Drain the tomatoes and cucumber.
  3. In a large saucepan, mix the corn kernels and pulp, tomatoes, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, cucumber, and onion.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar, vinegar, salt, celery seed and mustard seed. Pour over the vegetable mixture in the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer 1 hour.
  5. Add the green chiles to taste, cook another 10 minutes, then refrigerate until time to serve.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro and serve.
