Living in the mountains I’ve always pulled the plants at first frost and hung them upside down in the garage so they ripened and tasted fresh. The chow chow I’m definitely going to make. It looks yummy.

[@phlogistanjones2722]

Thank you. This is a really nice chow chow recipe. Cheers.

Dear God I love being a Southerner...

I don’t know about it being Southern, I am 76 years old and live in Utah and my grandmother made this, love it,. Also we made it from ripe tomatoesWithout the cabbage, delicious.

[@bettyprescott7]

We used a little more vinegar and sugar. I have also used pickling spice and put it in cheese cloth and removed it after cooking.

[@PAllenSmith]

@@bettyprescott7 I tend to slip in a little more vinegar myself!

[@sydneybeanpug]

We made what we called "Chili sauce" with the ripe ones. It was more like a chunky ketchup with cloves, cinnamon and maybe a few more spices. It is so good on scrambled eggs

[@bettyprescott7]

sydneybeanpug I like it with hashbrowns and fried eggs yummy. We also called a chili sauce.

Chow chow supposedly originated in eastern Canada and spread throughout the US especially through Appalachia. The variety I'm familiar with is from PA and is a much chunkier relish with many different end of the season vegetables. The name is said to come from the French word for cabbage.

My grandma made chow chow when I was a child, it was so amazingly delicious. I love this 💚

[@wildchook745]

Yum Chow Chow...that is how I like to eat my green tomatoes.

[@sherryhudson9075]

I’ve made this chow chow before and it is very good...... but who doesn’t like fried green tomatoes?!!!

[@tomsparks6099]

I forgot about chow chow and just pickled my greenies -- my Polish elders ate what is an Amish version of chow-chow. It was with cauliflower, red sweet and hot peppers, carrot, cabbage and beans.

🍅 There’s nothing better than fried green tomatoes!!! A good way to fry the smaller ones is to dice them up like you would potatoes, coat them in your meal mixture - throw them in your skillet and let them fry. Yum! Nice chow chow recipe. The more vinegar the better. Enjoy!

[@mssuezee6178]

great idea,thanks🌹

[@pamketron]

Ms suezee61 You’re welcome. Enjoy.

[@lyvonneharris7554]

Time to make Chow Chow.

[@johnpringle3407]

Salsa verde is also possible with green tomatoes.

[@PAllenSmith]

John Pringle and so good! 😋

[@sydneybeanpug]

The recipe I have is called Last of the garden relish. I haven't made it in years.

[@ginafriend1690]

I've never had this chow chow you made. I only know of our bright green relish on a great Chicago hotdogs! 😁 I do love fried tomoatoes. I'll take Jack Frost over our Arctic weather anyday. A little better here with double digits today but it's been in the single digits. It's going to be another one of Those winters for us, which I never look forward to. I cant figure out how to embrace and appreciate it. So I hibernate 🐻

[@2011Mamamia]

I did not know this! I put my green tomatoes in freezer, really did not know what to do with them. Can I still use them if frozen already?

[@dmariewalker6880]

Sure!

[@emkn1479]

Is this anything like piccalilli? Sounds delicious regardless. Peppers don’t like me-any other suggestions for ingredients?

[@tomsparks6099]

Made piccalilli out of the Ball cookbook, it didn't go over well.

[@lindagraves9404]

Different name-Same item

[@sheckyfeinstein]

Green tomater relish is in my future.

[@willothewispl]

A lot of my tomatoes were eaten before they turned red. We picked them off and fried them all the time.

[@judithpatterson8688]

I look chow chow on my beans

[@chrystalsabin4091]

Fried green tomatoes are supposed to be delicious. Unfortunately I have never had them.
