Corn Salsa: Old-fashioned corn relish, from the 1967 Betty Crocker’s New Outdoor Cookbook.; sixties; 1960s; salsa; jalapeños; recipe; Betty Crocker; corn

This is technically a relish, and would probably be great used that way. I have always used it as a salsa for corn chips or for putting on top of chili. Or, for that matter, for eating as a side.

This recipe makes about two cups, and it really does get better with at least up to a week from being made. I’ve not tested it beyond that.

Also of note, the Betty Crocker book I took this from labeled it “old fashioned”. I’ve no idea what made this old-fashioned in 1967, unless maybe the idea of having corn relish at all was an old-fashioned one at the time.

Drop in again soon for another vintage recipe! I’ll have a different recipe every Sunday afternoon throughout the year. Keep an eye on this page or subscribe to the RSS feed for further details. You can also browse past featured Club recipes as well as some of the vintage promotional cookbooks I’ve used as sources. And I collect many of these recipes in A Traveling Man’s Cookery Book.
