The relishes Dams mentioned are staples for summer BBQ's, every summer I
make some of these. When I used to can, I'd put up a coupla dozen pints
every year. Now you can take the basic recipes and put them into Ball jars
or whatever, no need to vacuum seal as they'll keep for awhile in the
fridge. Peeps love them so they don't stick around very long. If you
don't have fresh corn for the corn relish, frozen is perfectly okay...

Corn/calico relish was one of the very first things I learned to make when I
started to can, very easy and there are many variations. I like lotsa
garlic and red bell pepper in mine...and a tish of curry powder.
