Wonderful recipe! And I can just imagine the slightly “strange” smell while it is cooking… 😉 I don’t think it would last long in our house either…

It’s so true, although this one didn’t last long at our house!

I love recipes like this one. I can’t wait to try it. I think one of the best parts about relishes is that that the longer they sit (not too long, ha ha) the better they taste.
