I've slightly adapted this sweetcorn relish with chilli recipe from one I found on the Sainsbury's magazine website. I've used frozen sweetcorn instead of fresh corn on the cob as I've always got a bag of frozen sweetcorn in the freezer.
It's a delicious relish ready in under 30 minutes, that's full of flavour, with a slight hint of chilli. Enjoy it in a sandwich, a toastie, a burger or on the side with barbecued or grilled food.
Tips

Dry in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 140C/fan 120C/gas mark 1 until hot and completely dry. Boil metal lids and rubber seals for 10 minutes, then leave to dry.
- Store unopened jars of relish in a cool, dark place for a few months. Chill once opened.
