Chow Chow recipe

I usually make a base of vinegar and olive oil some hot sauce and honey to taste and integrate diced peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, corn and black bean. Let it marinate for an hour

Chow Chow Recipe:

30 green tomatoes
10 banana pepers
8 green bell peppers
8 red bell peppers
8 jalapeno peppers
5 large yellow onions
-----------------------
3 Tablespoons pickling salt or Kosher salt
1 pint white vinegar
1 pint apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1.5 Tablespoon cinnamon
1.5 Tablespoon allspice
5 bay leaves
2 cups sugar



Rough chop the tomatoes then pulse a few times in the processor. Deseed the peppers, quarter them and the onions and pulse a few times in the food processor. Put all this goodness together in a colander and let drain for a bit.

Put the lower ingredients in a nonreactive pot to make your pickling liquid and bring to a low boil whilst stirring frequently to incorporate everything.


Strain your pickling liquid. Then add the whole shooting match to a nonreactive pot and simmer it for a while. Fill your jars to 1/2" below the rim, lid and seal and put in a water bath for about 10 minutes. I think this made 17 pints last year.
