Plum Relish

Submitted by Tisme

"I have not made this for years, but have been asked for my relish and chutney recipes lately. After being asked for quite a few of my preserve recipe's I thought I might post some of them for others to enjoy. This is a family recipe, one that I used to make a lot of and share with my parents and in-laws (now passed on) So I have had no need to make it, as my kids never liked relish or chutney, just like me when I was young, I hated it, but grew to love it as I got older .........Now the kids are older and wiser, they are appreciating it more and are asking me to make it .....Go figure!!!!! Seems everything old is new again!"
