How to make: Chow Chow Relish

Cut the green tomatoes into a large dice. Place into a food processor, but do not overcrowd the machine; you will need to work in batches.

Process the tomatoes until they resemble a fine relish. Do not over-process or you will get tomato puree. Pour into a large bowl.

Repeat with the onions and bell peppers.

We are going to do the same thing with the green cabbage, but make sure only to use 4 cups of finely chopped cabbage. You probably will not use the whole head of cabbage.

Once everything is chopped and in a large bowl, add the pickling salt. Stir well to combine, cover, and place in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Drain the mixture well and then rinse thoroughly. Allow to drain well again.

Place the mixture into a Dutch oven. Add the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, and celery seed. Stir to combine.

Stirring occasionally, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Take off the heat and add the mixture to mason jars. Allow to cool to room temperature before storing in the fridge.
