Note

For best flavor, allow the relish to chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.

This relish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If you prefer a spicier kick, add a small diced jalape&# 195;±o or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

You can substitute fresh chopped pineapple for canned, but ensure it is well-drained to prevent the relish from becoming watery.

This relish pairs exceptionally well with grilled fish, pork tenderloin, or as a topping for fish tacos.
