MIMI'S CHOW CHOW - DEE DEE'S
This is a wonderful way to use up all the leftover summer vegetables from your garden. My former mother in law gave me a recipe for chow chow in the early 70's. I've added a few ingredients and this is what I canned this week with my leftover summer veggies. Great on hotdogs or vegetables. I will be serving on white beans this...

Steps:
- 1. Grind onions, cabbage, peppers, green tomatoes, carrots, celery and jalapeno in a food grinder or blender.
- 2. Place chopped vegetables in a large pot with salt and let set 4 hours.
- 3. Drain well! Press as much liquid out of vegetables as you can.
- 4. In a large kettle, bring sugar, vinegar, celery seed, mustard seed and turmeric to a boil; add vegetable to this mixture and bring back to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- 5. With slotted spoon, pack sterilzed jars; cover with pickling liquid leaving 1/4-inch headspace. With a clean wet cloth, wipe jar rims. Place flat lids on jars and close with screw band rings, tightly.
- 6. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
- 7. Remove jars to a rack to cool completely. As they cool the lid will make a popping sound indicating the lid has sealed. The center of the lids should be indented. IF any lid does not seal, store in fridge and use.

k.ayla83@hotmail.comThis recipe was a disaster! The vegetables were mushy, and the sauce was too runny. I won't be making this again.
