The season is here for way too many green tomatoes. This is a recipe I have made for the last 5 years.
It is very good. For a variation you can add jalapenos if you like hot.

My grandma used to make this all of the time. She had a big garden and used up everything from the garden that she could. She made this in the fall and I can remember eating this by the spoonfuls. Brings back great memories. Thanks for the recipe.

My brother in law was from Texas, and when I lived there, he requested deviled eggs on Thanksgiving, and I said sure, but when I went to make them, I realized I was out of relish which I always add. They only thing I had to use was some homemade “chow-chow” his mother made for me. I chopped some up very fine, and stirred it in. Wow! I accidentally invented a dish that is now very popular in their small Texas town. Now everybody is doing it with “chow-chow”. Lol.

The other way to use it is in macaroni or potato salad along with your fresh veggies. Or say a ground cooked chicken salad done up for sandwiches. I also used to put a good sized dollop into the middle of a summer green salad. I make chow chow too, but it isn't hot. Just like a sweet pickle relish. It is from a very old cook book by better homes and gardens on canning.

Omg, that sounds yummy- those jalapeņo peppers of course! It has been many years since I've done any canning, so all of those supplies are no longer in my kitchen arsenal, but if they were, I would certainly do this! Wonder I'd there is any commercially available? Anyone have any suggestions.....
