If the process has a normal distribution, 99.7% of the population is captured by the curve at three standard deviations from the mean. Stated another way, there is only a 1-99.7%, or 0.3% chance of finding a value beyond 3 standard deviations.
Relish is one of them. The most traditional corn relish traces its origins to the South, particularly Louisiana. This sort of relish is often little more than fresh corn kernels, hot peppers, and spices that are boiled briefly in vinegar. The vinegar acts as a preserving agent and also pickles the corn.
1 Cook corn according to package directions; I use the microwave. 2  Melt butter in saucepan, stir in flour and blend well. 3  Add milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, and blend with whisk. 4  Cook over medium heat until thickened. 5  Stir in sugar, salt and pepper. 6  Add cooked, drained corn. 7  Hint: sometimes I use part milk, part cream.
