SOUTHERN CHOW CHOW
Steps:
- Clean and sterilize 2 quart-size canning jars with lids.
- Add the vinegar, sugar, salt, cloves, mustard seeds, peppercorns, mustard, turmeric, red pepper flakes and bay leaf to a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the flavors start to marry, about 5 minutes.
- Add the green tomatoes, green and red bell peppers, onion and cabbage and bring to a boil, lower the heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Divide the mixture between the two jars and let cool to room temperature. Serve immediately or seal and refrigerate for up to 6 weeks.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
- Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Whisk the butter into the milk mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
- Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Procedure for adding fruit to pancakes: Once the bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, scatter the surface with sliced or diced fruit, or chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Flip with a spatula and cook for 1 minute more, being careful not to burn toppings.

CHOW-CHOW PANCAKES
These little vegetable-filled pancakes are colorful and delicious!! This is my favorite recipe to use during the fresh produce season. Serve them like hash browns or potato pancakes. They go well with any broiled or roasted meat or poultry. We prefer them plain, but optional toppings are provided. I found this recipe years ago in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

Tips:
- Use fresh chow chow: Fresh chow chow has a crisp texture and a slightly sweet flavor. If you can't find fresh chow chow, you can use canned or pickled chow chow, but the flavor will be different.
- Shred the chow chow finely: This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the pancakes.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to prevent the pancakes from sticking. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a nonstick skillet.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately: Chow chow pancakes are best served immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.
Conclusion:
Chow chow pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for using up leftover chow chow, and they can be made ahead of time and reheated. Chow chow pancakes are also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
