Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I've never eaten chow chow before, is it a relish? I saw a recipe in a magazine and it said to serve with chow chow. Does anyone have a recipe for it? I'd like to try it now. When I saw the picture it looked like it had corn in it. Thanking everyone in advance for any help here, Chelsea What are the most popular cars? Find out at Autos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'm from L.A. and I've never heard of this stuff before. Hoping one of the members can come up with something for you. I only know of the Chow Chow breed of dogs my Aunt raised..........LOL Donna --- chelsea <chelsea_cheetah wrote: > I've never eaten chow chow before, is it a relish? > I saw a recipe in a magazine and it said to serve > with chow chow.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Chelsea and Donna, Chow Chow sometimes called Pick a Dilly is a mixture of raw veggies that are preserved by canning,just like making pickles. Usually carrots, cauliflower, pearl onions, celery, garlic, etc. in either a sweet and sour brine or a hot and spicy. It is an excellent relish but must be prepared by the hot bath canning method. You can buy it in the store but I don't because of the additives. This relish is usually made during harvest time when veggies are not so expensive. Daughter and I were going to can some last season but got too involved in canning salsa and pickled peppers. If anyone would like to try canning they can contact me and I will talk them through it.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Chelsea, Yes, chow chow is a relish, a sweet and sour one. I think it was developed as a recipe to use all the garden leftovers so if you do a web search you'll notice varying ingredients. Some with just cabbage and onions, some with bell peppers, green tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower, or corn. I usually use the Ball Blue Book recipes to can but I can't seem to find mine today. Lots of great recipes on the web though - here's a page with several versions http://chitterlings.com/28july01.html Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Shelly, Yes, you are correct and all of my canning equipment and recipes are packed for next season. Glad to see another *canner* in the group. Daughter and I will enter some pickled Jalapino Peppers in the State Fair this year.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 There is a friend of a friend that makes the best chow chow I've ever eat and she will not give up the recipe. It's got cabbage, onion, peppers and it's a sweet and spicy liquid. It's got some kick to it. And I like hot stuff. I sure wish I knew how she made it. I think Chow Chow is one of those things that depending on who makes it and how is whether you like it or not. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" chow-chow; chowchow Thought to have been brought to America by the Chinese railroad laborers, chow-chow is a mustard-flavored mixed-vegetable-and-pickle relish. Originally, the term was used to describe a Chinese condiment of orange peel and ginger in a heavy syrup. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 -Robin, I have a friend who makes a great hot Chow Chow. Her veggies are chopped fine instead of chunks like are in Piccalilli/Pick-a-Dilly and she adds the chili to make it *hot*. I will look in my canning equipment and find the recipe for you. I prefer the spicy vinegar type but the sweet and sour is also very good.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I want to try it now. I'm way too curious now after reading all these posts. Doesn't anyone have a tried and try little recipe to make and I can put in a jar and finish within the week.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I really LOVE to can but I'm fairly new to it! And it's so much fun to do with friends or family (not to mention easier!) I recently canned some hot asparagus bites. Saw them at a fancy roadside food/antique store for $10 a bottle and promptly went home and made my own. They are soo good! That's great that you and your daughter can together and have entries in the state fair!! I look forward to you sharing your wisdom (and recipes) Shelly , " genny_y2k " <genny_y2k wrote: > > Shelly, > Yes, you are correct and all of my canning equipment and recipes are > packed for next season.
