Southern Sweet Chow-Chow Relish Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 quarts shredded cabbage (about one medium head). I use the same grater to shred the cabbage that I do to make slaw.
1/2 cup sweet onions chopped fine
1/2 cup chopped green or red bell peppers (optional)
2 Tablespoons salt
Combine chopped vegetables and sprinkle with salt. Let stand 4 to 6 hours in the refrigerator. Drain well.
Combine the following ingredients and simmer 10 minutes. Use a pot large enough to put the vegetable mix in later.
2 cups vinegar
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons celery seeds
2 teaspoons mustard seed

Steps:

  • Add vegetables to vinegar-sugar-spice mixture and simmer another 10 minutes. Bring to a boil. Then pack, boiling hot, into clean, heated canning jars, leaving only a 1/8 inch head space. Place canning lids and rings on jars and tighten. I usually turn the jars upside down so that all the heat is on the seals. I don't turn them back upright until the jars are completely cool. This recipe doesn't have to sit before it's ready to eat. After it cools, you can start tasting it. You won't be able to tell where the cabbage starts and the onions end. The flavors blend together perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of chow chow relish, but I tried this recipe and I was pleasantly surprised. It's not too sweet and has a nice tang to it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chow chow relish turned out too runny. I think I'll try cooking it for a little longer next time.

This chow chow relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that adds a sweet and tangy flavor to any dish. I especially love it on hot dogs and hamburgers, but it's also great on sandwiches, salads, and even as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets.
