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.
