I love our home canned corn relish. It's great on fish, meat, and one daughter (vegetarian), love it with her mashed potatoes when she lived at home.
Recipe:
1 stick of organic butter, 2 Tbsp. divided (see note below)
1 1/2 cups einkorn whole grain flour
3/4 c. organic cornmeal
1 Tbsp. non-gmo baking powder
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 farm fresh eggs, beaten
1 1/4 c. organic milk
1 1/2 c. home canned corn relish, drained well
Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet (melt butter) and add to dry. Heat your 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet with the 2 Tbsp of butter (note: I used organic non-gmo olive oil and it worked great). Bake in a pre-heated oven at 425°F. Depending on the size of you skillet, bake 20 to 35 minutes. Check center, if needed, using a wooden toothpick. Cool a few minutes before serving.

If you are a regular follower, you know that I've attempted to extreme clean my bedroom closet, utility room and garage for 4 years now. Every time I clean it up, the kids put things everywhere, and it's right back to a big total mess of chaos.
Finally, finally, I have my bedroom closet about 89% of the way purged. Hubby has to go through some clothing, and I have to get busy on some unfinished crochet/knitting projects - too many bags in there of those buggers. Oh it is looking so nice too. I'm super excited to get started on the garage and utility room now too.
I have found a home for 2 softball helmets and my oldest daughter is coming over soon to take some school supplies I'm purging. Just too much stuff now that the kids are all moved out (but one, and I can actually keep things organized and clean).
On top of that I managed to re-stock the comfrey poultices. I have a nasty bruise on my knee and needed one anyway.
Found this little article in while purging.
Thought I would share. Now go wash your kitchen dishcloth - 4 billion living germs??!!

That made me shudder, all those germs on a dish cloth. I like the idea of corn relish, I have never made that before.
After reading that about germs, I'm wondering how any of us survive!! As I was vacuuming and dusting today, it occurred to me (I'm a little slow sometimes) that keeping things neat, clean and tidy sure is a lot easier now that it's only the two of us in and out, around and about the house. Every single pair of feet (big or small) brings in more grit and grime . . . and, yikes, no doubt germs, too!
mamasmercantile, I was cleaning the house when I found that article. Yeah, yuck. The corn relish is very good.
Mama Pea, I have been spraying with 4 thieves spray and using my homemade tea tree wipes. It makes you pay more attention to cleaning stuff.
Yikes - that made me shudder too! The thought of all those germs partying in my dish-cloth! I use lemon juice as a neat cleanser especially on chopping boards after washing and having boiling water poured down them, and also as a deodorant (though my family think I'm mad).
My daughter-with-an-allotment has bought me a big bag of yellow oval cucumbers so I am thinking of making a bread-and-butter relish with some of those, though they are nice to eat as they are of course.
Bovey, it made me shudder too. That's wonderful you were gifted cucumbers.
