One of my dear friends introduced this basic recipe to me a few years back. She moved to the Ozarks from the great state of Texas and brought this recipe with her. From what I hear ... there is a nice restaurant down there that people rave about called the Blue Mesa Grill. They specialize in Southwestern cuisine. I'm not exactly sure how my friend got her hands on their Blue Mesa Jalapeno Relish recipe, but I'm telling you, it's absolutely scrumptious! You can eat it by itself, slather it on hamburgers or any sandwich you please. We eat it over meatloaf and roast too. If you sliced everything small enough, it would be great on crackers.
