RELISH

This is the basic recipe. I add whatever I have from friends' gardens. Green tomatos; green and red pepper; corn etc. As long as it all chopped to about the same size as a kernal of corn. Although not in the recipe, I add a tablespoon of pickling spice (sometimes more, depending on my mood).

2 cups fresh or frozen corn

2 cups chopped onions

2 cups chopped tomatoes

2 cups chopped seeded cucumber

1 large green pepper, chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seed

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
