The Adams lived next door to us all my life. They always had a beautiful garden and always shared the bounty. Mom and I recently started going through her recipe drawer and came across a handwritten card from Mrs. Adams with this recipe on it. I remember having this every summer. We love chow chow with our beans or mixed into deviled eggs or potato salad. Ingredients:
1 gallon green tomato (roughly chopped) |
5 bell peppers (roughly chopped) |
3 -10 hot peppers (we like it super hot) |
12 medium onions (roughly chopped) |
1 bunch celery (roughly chopped) |
1 small cabbage (roughly chopped) |
3 pints regular vinegar |
1/2 cup salt |
4 teaspoons turmeric |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
3 lemons, juice of |
6 cups sugar |
Directions:
1. Grind vegetables or pulse in food processor (Mrs. Adams ground hers, I just chop mine fine).
2. Drain vegetables.
3. Mix salt, spices, sugar and vinegar and heat through.
4. Pour over vegetables and add lemon juice.
5. Can as you normally would.
