Tomatillo Jalapeno Relish and Jalapeno Relish

I created a Jalapeño Relish that is a Best of the Best Recipe. I'll repost it at the end of this new recipe.
This is a another relish to serve as a condiment.

We eat a lot of jalapeños in Texas. We love the heat of the peppers. You can  find them used in many traditional and contemporary recipes.
This is a classic Texas Relish.
I serve this as a Tex - Mex Bruschetta on toasted sliced of French Baguette with Goat Cheese.
Spread some Goat Cheese on the toast and top it with this relish
