Creamy Polenta w/ Blueberry Corn Relish & Pork

polenta-blueberry-corn-relish-porkWow, has this sunshine been great! Every sunny summer day in the mountains makes up for an entire week of rain/snow. Everything has gotten so green, my plants are all finally growing and the farmer’s markets have started. Life is good. I have been enjoying the abundance of fresh product as well!

But, since I don’t have a sweet tooth, I was struggling to find things to COOK with them. I was browsing Pinterest and found this awesome Polenta Bites w/ Blueberry Corn Relish recipe, from Girl Versus Dough, and was instantly intrigued.

I also used cider vinegar instead of rice vinegar, because of its amazing health benefits. This dish is the perfect combination of sweet meets savory, creamy meets acidic. If you are hesitating because the relish sounds strange, DON’T! Everything went SO well together!

    Wow, this sounds like such an interesting combination! Blueberries, corn and pork? Yum!

    I am loving this weather right now, too. I am from Massachusetts, but we’ve definitely had our fair share of snow as well.
