Oh wow. This was SO awesome! I made it for a 4th of July party and it was a hit. I forgot to bookmark it though and just spent the last 30 minutes going through my history to find it because I have to make it again for my husband. :) Fantastic. I wouldn't change a thing. 5 stars all the way from me!

This is an easy recipe that tastes great. Modifications don't detract from the foundation taste in this recipe. I used jarred roasted red peppers instead of pimiento and celery instead of green pepper. Still had that perfect old tyme corn relish taste that I remember as a kid.

Small quantity made is what I've been looking for. An any-time recipe with terrific taste.

Wow! This stuff is fantastic--what a tasty low-fat treat. I used 2 cans of Niblets corn--it was close to 3 cups, a whole 4-ounce jar of pimientos (what are you going to do with what is left in the jar), and a large jalapeno. It made close to 1 quart. I'll be making this often!
