Corn Relish

This is a nice summer side that not only goes well with burgers and hotdogs, but also for your more special plating’s, such as with Apricot-Almond chicken. It is quick and easy, but I should warn you it has a calories from added sugar. If you decide to try for less sweet, cut back on the vinegar or it will be to sour.
