Sweet Pickle Relish by the Jar

"I like to make pickles because they are so much fresher tasting than store-bought. However, I do not always like to can them so make just enough for one jar to keep refrigerated. This recipe is modified from "Better Homes and Gardens, Can It!" I've found that it lasts more than 6 months refrigerated. But that is only if you push it to the rear of your refrigerator and forget it is there!"
