Recipe - Chow-Chow (or green tomato relish)

by NanasOven on 10/27/2009 07:37 PM

I lost my grandmother's chow chow recipe and could kick myself for not taking better care of it. This sounds a lot like hers and I am certainly going to try it this summer. Love chow chow with pinto beans, cornbread and onion.

Ok, thanks Kimi, this'll be a totally new adventure, I've never canned anything! (Althought I did get canned once...oh but that's another story, lol) smileys

Hey lynx, thanks for this wow-wow Chow-Chow, lol! I've never had this ever but have heard of it. So I am wild to try. Can you eat it right away, or is it better after it sits on a shelf for a while?

Sounds great although I doubt I'll ever need to make QUITE this much! I think I can divide it up and love it. Thanks for explaining it, first I thought it was for a dog! LOL :)

Kimi, I love this recipe!! When you mention Chow-Chow to some folks, you get a puzzled look from them. I grew up eating it as a condiment when my Mom made fresh greens. The Pennsylvania Dutch use cabbage in their Chow-Chow. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us.
