Elizabeth's Green Tomato Chow-Chow image

This is my ex-mother in law's recipe. I got her to e-mail it to me yesterday. It is the best chow recipe I have ever eaten. I've made many many jars of this in my lifetime. You will not be dissappointed if you try this one! I am posting this so I never lose it again! I am guestimating at the amount it makes.

This chow-chow is a little too spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This chow-chow is amazing! I made it last week and it was a hit at my Labor Day party. I used a mix of green and red tomatoes, and it turned out great. The flavors are perfect, and it's not too spicy. I will definitely be making this again!
