SWEET AND SPICY GARDEN RELISH/ CHOW-CHOW



Sweet and Spicy Garden Relish/ Chow-Chow image

A pickled relish is a cooked or pickled, coarsely or finely chopped vegetables (using what you have from cabbage to green tomatoes to zucchini just to have 4 quarts grated veggies before soaking) which is typically used as a condiment. I made this with a combination of home grown garden goodies. Served as a dipping sauce for breads or as a condiment to spread over the top of cornbread or top hot dogs and hamburgers, fresh grilled fish,chicken or mix with mixed with mayonnaise to make tartar sauce, and piccalilli can be mixed with mayonnaise or crème fraîche to make remoulade. Makes a great addition to a gift basket.

GARDEN CHOW CHOW



Garden Chow Chow image

My Daddy used to bring home a jar of this from work every summer after garden time. It always started arguements over who ate the last serving. Finally my Daddy remembered to ask the man for the recipe one year. I have been making this since I started cooking. I love it. I wish I knew the man's name that shared the recipe so I could give him the credit. When I make up a batch, I always have to share with my two sons.
