Auntie Ann's Eggplant Relish image

"THIS IS my favorite of Auntie Ann's dishes, and one that I enjoy making, too! Only difference is, my aunt likes to serve it cold, as relish, and I prefer to serve it warm. On a piece of garlic toast, it makes a wonderful appetizer!"

I followed the recipe exactly and the relish turned out great! It was a little spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for.
