Featuring sweet corn kernels and diced cucumber, this relish deserves to be your No. 1 topping for burgers and 'dogs. 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups fresh corn kernels (cut from 4 cobs) 
• 2 cups white vinegar
• 1 cup finely diced red bell pepper (about 1 pepper)
• 1 cup finely diced red onion
• 1 cup diced english cucumber (about 1 small cucumber)
• 2 finely diced jalapeño peppers
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar 
• 2 tbsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp fennel seeds

DIRECTIONS

1 Bring all the ingredients to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has absorbed and the vege­tables are tender. Remove from the heat and let cool. Transfer to a dish and serve immediately on beef, salmon or tuna burgers with Boston lettuce and mayon­naise on a soft brioche bun. Relish will keep for two weeks in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
