Chow Chow Pennsylvania Dutch Relish Recipes

CHOW CHOW PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH

The Pennsylvania Dutch are famous for their pickles, relishes and condiments, often served as part of the traditional 'sweets and sours' with a large meal. Chow-Chow, in my recollection, has always been one of the favorites. It is made up of a variety of vegetables that are in season near the end of the summer. I remember a church in Dryville, PA, used to make batches of chow-chow to sell for a fund-raiser. This is my grandmother's recipe. It is, without a doubt, the best chow-chow I have ever eaten. I have only tasted one store-bought variety that came close, and it was purchased at a farmers' market in Asheville, NC. The difference is primarily in the combination and size of the vegetables. In this recipe, the vegetables are cut into small pieces whereas, in most other varieties, they are processed or shredded. It takes some effort, but will reap the rewards for months. ................................................................................................................. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, this article is about the relish. Chow-chow (chowchow, chow chow) is a Nova Scotian and American pickled relish made from a combination of vegetables. Mainly green tomato, cabbage, chayote, red tomatoes, onions, carrots, beans, asparagus, cauliflower and peas are used. These ingredients are pickled in a canning jar and served cold. Chow-chow is regionally associated with the Southern United States, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, the Appalachian Mountains, and soul food. The recipes vary greatly; some varieties are sweeter than others. Chow-chow found its way to the Southern United States during the expulsion of the Acadian people from Nova Scotia and their settlement in Louisiana. It is eaten by itself or as a condiment on fish cakes, mashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy, pinto beans, hot dogs, hamburgers and other foods. The term "chow-chow" is reportedly based on the French word chou for cabbage. Food historian Luis W. Fernandez claims a connection with Chinese cuisine as an origin. A further possible source of the name is the ingredient chayote, which is itself known as chow chow in India.

Steps:

Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in large stockpot or kettle large enough to hold all ingredients. Bring to a boil, being certain sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Add the cooked beans, vegetables, canned onions and gherkins. Bring back to boil, then reduce heat and keep at a simmer. Place in hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space, and process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes at an altitude up to 1,000 feet, 15 minutes at 1,000 to 6,000 feet. (Processing times are based on guidelines provided by the USDA National Food Safety Database.).
Notes: Recipe can be made in smaller amounts and, rather than processing, kept in the refrigerator for up to two months.

Steps:

1. Combine the cauliflower, carrots, green beans, yellow beans, kidney beans, corn, onion and bell pepper in a large heat-proof bowl; set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring water, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, turmeric and salt to a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour the boiling liquid over the vegetables, and use a large spoon to mix gently until well blended. Set the bowl aside to let vegetables cool.
3. Once vegetables are cooled, cover the bowl and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve spoonfuls as a cooled (or room temperature) relish to accompany nearly any meat or poultry main dish (it's particularly great spooned over slices of roast pork).

1 cup frozen cauliflower, thawed and cut into small pieces
1 cup frozen sliced carrots, thawed
1 cup frozen cut green beans, thawed

Cook each vegetable separately in a small amount of lightly salted water over medium heat until tender crisp. (Do not cook canned beans or gherkins, if using)
Remove each when done from boiling water with slotted spoon and plunge into ice water bath to stop cooking. (A large bowl of ice water) Drain in colander. Layer each cooled, drained vegetable into a large bowl, then add the rinsed, drained beans; toss the layers gently with hands or wooden spoon to blend. Drain any additional water from the vegetables that accumulated in the bottom of the bowl.
In large stockpot or kettle, bring pickling syrup ingredients to boil, stirring especially at first to dissolve sugar. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, if using. (I often skip it). Carefully add the mixture of vegetables to the boiling liquid. Return to boil and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
