Recipe for Chow Chow

Chow Chow

(by Sheri and Rhonda of Calvary Couponers)
128 servings (1/4 cup)
 (makes 8 quarts)

  2        quarts  green tomatoes
  1        whole  hot pepper -- optional
  3        whole  green peppers
  3        whole  red and yellow bell peppers
  5        large  onions
  3        tablespoons  salt
  2        cups  white vinegar
  3        cups  sugar
  2        tablespoons  mustard seed
  2        tablespoons  celery seed
  1        tablespoon  turmeric

Put all veggies in food processor (I prefer my Ninja) Put in bowl with 3 tbs salt poured over veggies. Let sit 10 minutes. Squeeze out as much juice as possible by hand.

In very large pot, mix vinegar, sugar, seeds, and turmeric.

Mix all together and boil 5 minutes. Pour over veggies. Heat all until almost boiling.  Put in sterilized jars and water bath 15 minutes. Wipe rib of jar, poke a butter knife in side of jar to release air, leave 1" headspace. Lid, ring-not tight. Let sit at least 24 hrs, then tighten ring and store.

You can eat it as a side dish, eat it with beans, stir it into potato salad, top a hotdog or hamburger with it, etc.  Anything that you put pickle relish on, this can be used or added to as well
