What is a relish?
A relish is a sweet and sour seasoning sauce or a puree made from marinated vegetables or fruit, usually chunky with an intense taste. It is used cold and is particularly popular in English cuisine. Relishes originally come from Indian cuisine and were incorporated into English cuisine during the colonial era.
Difference between chutney and relish
Chutneys, such as quince chutney, are usually jam-like and slightly sweet, while relishes are thinner and contain fine pieces of vegetables or fruit. Relishes often taste slightly sour and can have a certain spiciness.
