I don't make or eat corn relish, but my dad loves my gramma's
recipe. Unfortunately, as I was going through her handwriten
cookbooks, I found two of them, and I don't know which was her
usual:

Best Corn Relish

1 C. chopped sweet red pepper
1 C. chopped green pepper
1 C. chopped celery
1-1/4 C. chopped onion
1-1/2 C sugar
1-1/2 T. mustard seed
1 T. celery seed
1 qt. white vinegar
3/4 C water
1-1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 T. salt
1/2 tsp tumeric

Boil corn for 3 minutes, dip in cold water, drain and cut
kernels from cob. Combine all ingredients, and boil 20
minutes, serve hot.

boiling water to cover tops of jars. Cover, boil 30 minutes counting
time when active boiling resumes. Yield 4 pints.
