Sumac And Onion Relish – We Love God!

There is a Christian failure to distinguish between socializing and fellowship. Although socializing is often both a part of and the context of fellowship, it is possible to socialize without having fellowship. Socializing involves the sharing of human and earthly life. Christian fellowship, New Testament koinonia, involves the sharing of spiritual life. Don’t misunderstand- socializing is a valuable asset to the church and necessary for a balanced life. But we have gone beyond giving socializing the place it deserves. We have become willing to accept it as a substitute for fellowship, almost cheating ourselves of the Christian birthright of true fellowship altogether.

Yield: Approximately 1-1/2 cups  Place the onion rings into mixing
bowl. Add rest of ingredients and  stir thoroughly and gently. Let
rest, stirring occasionally for about  three hours. Relish will lose at
least half of its original volume.  This is a good relish to use as a
sandwich spread--for example, take  some very thinly sliced roast beef
(or cream cheese) and stuff a pita  with it and plenty of the relish.
I've even used it as a garnish when  serving a curry dish!  Posted to
