Corn Relish Custard

I have had this recipe so long I don’t know where it came from. After seeing a similar idea in Myrna's canning book, I adapted it to use my home canned corn relish, but any kind of whole kernel corn, well-drained, works. I add a half-pint of drained, home canned ham chunks to this for a main dish. This isn’t a scalloped corn dish with creamed corn and crackers, but true custard. If you use 10 ounce individual dishes, cut the baking time to 30 minutes or so.
For a side dish, bake in the casserole dish and cut in squares; as a side dish it can serve 6. It’s good with pork chops and a salad. I serve this as a main dish with a nice chopped salad and fruit for dessert, because it’s pretty caloric. The portions are generous.  The corn relish recipe is HERE.
