If the process has a normal distribution, 99.7% of the population is captured by the curve at three standard deviations from the mean. Stated another way, there is only a 1-99.7%, or 0.3% chance of finding a value beyond 3 standard deviations.
Relish is one of them. The most traditional corn relish traces its origins to the South, particularly Louisiana. This sort of relish is often little more than fresh corn kernels, hot peppers, and spices that are boiled briefly in vinegar. The vinegar acts as a preserving agent and also pickles the corn.
This recipe is for a sweet corn relish which, Iâm happy to announce, is delicious served over hot dogs. (That is if you are a relish-on-your-hot-dog kinda person.) Iâm at a loss as to how else to eat it.
