Note: I remember my brother and me just loved Mom's Relish on our hamburgers. After Mom passed away I thought this Recipe was lost forever. She had never written the recipe down or given it to anyone. Cooks in those day just made everything from memory. I happened to ask my oldest sister if she knew the recipe. To my amazement she had remembered it by heart. I hope you like it as much as I do. It's worth the trouble you might have to go through to make it.
