When I was growing up, I always got to spend the last couple weeks of my summer vacation at my grandparents’ home in the country. Grandma was justifiably proud of her big backyard garden. She would send me out with a basket to find the last of the vegetables growing there, so she could make this relish that we all loved. Just a taste of it still brings back such memories!
