Green Tomatoe Chow Chow Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a food processor using the slicer, slice the tomatoes and onions on the thin side. Put the sliced tomatoes and onions in a large bowl and sprinkle with the 1/2 cup coarse salt and enough water to cover all.Cover the bowl with a heavy plate big enough to cover all. Let stand over night on counter.In the morning drain off brine into a colander and rinse tomatoes and onions with cold water.Put the tomatoes and onions in a large pot , add the vinegar , sugar,and pickling spice( in the bag) . Boil on medium heat until it changes colors.Stir to keep from sticking. It will go from bright green to a dull green. About 1 and 1/2 hour.
  • Add a couple of red tomatoes if you like for a bit of color..
  • When done put in sterilized mason jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.
  • Put the lids on and leave to cool until the lids pop, that means they are sealed.
  • You can eat this right after it is cooked, but better when cold.
  • Store in a cool place, like the basement, they will last a long time. I have some left that i made 2 years ago and it is just fine.
  • To sterilize jars:
  • Wash with really hot water or in the dishwasher and put the jars on a old cookie sheet or one wrapped in foil into a hot oven of 325 degrees for about 10 min.
  • Make sure the jars are cold before putting the Chow in.
  • I use the medium size mason jars, but use which ever size you like.
  • The jars will leave marks on your cookie sheet if not covered in foil.
  • I use a old one just for that reason.
  • I got 9 500ml jars.
