Nothing like chow chow with a bowl of beans and cornbread! Yum. I do onions and finely chopped carrots and green peppers. It's the way my granny made it, but I do think I will do some and add the tomatoes. I think everyone in our area has an abundance of tomatoes this year. That's a great thing. Bet that will be good too. Hope ya'll have a great week and God bless!
Meagan you crack me up when you talk about “Meagan” in third person. 😂 Thanks for sharing your method of canning tomato juice. That’s about simple as simple gets. 👍🏽
Oim 73 yrs young, and open kettle is all I've ever known or done.. love your channel. Your kids are amazing, 2 very respectful children, you and Andy have done a wonderful job raising them. I anxiously wait for your videos. Keep up the great work and may GOG bless❤❤
I make my own tomato sauce and tomato juice all the time but i quarter the tomatoes; coat em lightly with olive oil; sprinkle with some salt/pepper and garlic and roast them for 45 minutes - (often with rosemary; thyme; garlic cloves; onions and bell peppers) - then puree it all and press it for some awesome tomato sauce. way way better than V8. if i want a tomato juice i strain it through some cheesecloth. roasting the tomatoes gives much more flavor than stewing them
Good morning Megan. Watching you brings back a lot of great memories growing up in the country. I remember things I’d forgotten and learn something new as well. Thank you and yours for all you do.
Hi Megan, when mama made chow chow and I was in school and I got off the bus, I could smell those onions before I got to the porch. But it was so good. Thank you for sharing this recipe because you show us how to make it and you don't hide the ingredients for the brine. There are others that will say " add the spices" but won't say what the spices are. I just recently found your channel and I really enjoy watching y'all. It's a breath of fresh air knowing that people are still out there trying to preserve the old ways. Thank you and here's a hug for you.
Both of my grandmas made chow chow. I think it was never the same two years in a row. Just like you said, the basic recipe is a suggestion. Both would make it near the end of the summer. They used whatever was left after harvest. Their chow chow included lima beans, green beans, and cauliflower. Like your great aunt, they just made it. We had chow chow and/or mustard pickles at every meal, except breakfast maybe. I always thought chow chow was a Pennsylvania Dutch thing.
Thanks for sharing yr busy day Megan 👍🤓👍. Yr chow chow looks delicious. My Mimi would make that with what she called garden leftovers. Nothing went to waste👍. The creek garden sure did take a major turn for the better 👍🤓👍. Congrats 👏👍 on all y'all's hard work. Maggie's flower garden is awesome. Too pretty to pick ❣️👍❣️. I'm sure yr son's garden is doing well as well 👍. Great job y'all. Much ❤ from here in Michigan y'all
I have great memories making Chow Chow with my Granny. She ran all her veggies through a meat grinder, that she had mounted on a big like chopping block. I do have that meat grinder today. I don’t use it. but I have special memories of it being used. Thanks for sharing. Blessings from TN.❤️
My family came to the US through Elise Island I. 1890 from Germany. I learned to make Halupsie from my grandma who was born in 1905. My dad, her son said I make it better than she ever did. It’s basically stuffed cabbage with sourkrout and a meat and rice. So very yummy.
I tripled the chow chow recipe and it came out fantastic. I was able to use up the last of the garden peppers, tomatoes, and a big cabbage that I didn’t need for the kraut. The brine is a good balance between the vinegar and sugar. I added turmeric,cinnamon sticks, ginger, garlic, bay leafs and mustard seed. I’m so happy and the heat from the hot peppers really mellowed after cooking. Thanks again for a great recipe❤
I so enjoy watching your channel. You are just a down to earth, no fuss kinda lady. My mom always made chow chow and we loved it with pintos! I have cabbage to do something with...our tomatoe vines are loaded with green ones but they have blossom.end rot and have taken the blight even tho we have done what we know to help both issues. Here in Western NC we went without rain and hot temps for over a month, now we've had rain most every evening for the past few weeks. So I'm thinking I'll pick the green ones and do something with them...this is a good recipe to do that with. Thank you and God bless you. ❤
Hey Megan 👋 so watching this video has inspired me to try canning something new. I absolutely love the Chow Chow recipe. Thank you soooo much for sharing this with us all. I would share a photo on here, but I'm not sure that I can. I am looking forward to more delicious recipes and canning ideas. Your channel has been exactly what I needed this year to rejuvenate my canning season. I love watching you and your family and have learned so many new things.❤
Hi, Megan I love your channel always keeping it real. I am a registered nurse as well I don’t know how you do the things you do while still holding down a job.. bless you my dear.
Funny story I haven’t canned tomato juice in some years but decided I’m making some this year and the last time I did my mom helped and I swear all the recipes I’ve been finding says to use lemon juice or acid and I’m thinking no my mom only used salt!! Thank you!! She had a juicer thing but I only have a food mill like yours!!
I'm new to your channel & really enjoy it. My Mom grew up in South Dakota & they made chow chow at the end of the growing season to use up what was left in the garden. Pretty similar recipe, but she added carrots & cucumbers, no jalapenos. Also added turmeric spice. Someone didn't like gravy, so they ate it on mashed potatoes as well as a relish. We loved it as kids.
Thanks for the great recipe of making Chow-Chow. My mother-in-law loved making that too. Looked so good and waiting to hear how it turned out for you taste. Waste not want not and this was two great recipes to keep from wasting your harvest. I could almost taste the tomato juice and it was great. Fred.
Great video. My mama used to tell me she would add a little pepper every timer she salted a pot cause if she couldn't remember if she salted or not she could see the pepper and knew she was good.
It’s delicious much better than any store bought so called chow chow or relish I love it just in my plate with fried potatoes and whatever I’m eating lol
Hello 👋 I’m new to your channel, with your tomato 🍅 scraps, beside giving them to your chickens and can dehydrate them and make a tomato seasoning for what ever you want to use it for
If you wanted to save some seeds from Maggie's flower garden ,just clip a variety of the zinnia flower heads and let the. dry out to use for next season .
For the tomato juice after you juice them if you have a freeze dryer you can dry what's left over and make tomato paste or whatever else you like that's tomato products.
Good Morning from the Shenandoah Valley! This Spring we had to re-plant our Silver Queen and the Blue Lake. Was not an issue with bugs or rodents. It just did not come up.
Megan my mom’s mom/ my grandmother use to make tomato juice and she knew how much I loved it and it’s like you said I could drink it straight from the jar and she canned it in quart jars and it was so good I would drink nearly the whole jar and yes it was delicious to me
That chow chow and tomato juice is beautiful. I remember Mama, Grandma and Aunt Ruth making chow chow years ago. You're right about the gloves. They put some cayenne pepper in theirs and Aunt Ruth stirred it up with her hands. She didn't do that any more. I remember them making tomato juice too. Your tomatoes look fantastic. My big ones are about all gone. Y'all have a great evening!
I had the same problem with bell peppers this year not doing so well. I’ve figured that it was because of the drought we had in East TN. They were good but there just weren’t a lot of them.
I love me some tomatoes! When I make my juice, I peel and core the tomatoes, and then I pulse them in the food processor just to break up the tomato. Then I pour them in a stock pot on the stove and just heat them up, I don’t boil them. Then I jar them up with a little salt and lemon juice and water bath them. I love the pulp and the seeds in my juice. And like you, I always add a little extra salt when I’m enjoying it. I used to blanch my tomatoes to remove the skins, however, last year I started freezing them ahead of time, and then just putting them in a sink full of water when I’m ready to process and allowing them to thaw.. The skins peeled right off and I didn’t get burnt trying to handle hot tomatoes.
I love your channel I miss you when you’re not on…your chow chow looks amazing! I’m 73 and you make me want to get back into canning again and open kettle is of course the way to go…thank for sharing…
Thank you for more excellent recipes. Tomorrow I am making chili starter with a big batch of ripe tomatoes. During the winter I will open a jar and add it to ground beef and some cranberry beans or cow beans. This chili starter is a great easy supper along with your corn bread recipe.❤
I haven't tried this technique yet, but I recently heard if you have a fan blowing at you, while you're chopping onions, the gases that are released, blow away, before reaching your nose and eyes! The person that told me, swears by it!!
I really love your garden and your beautiful home and are resting your children you are doing a fantastic and your canning thanks for sharing your wonderful stories
What ive seen some do to keep moisture or insects from following the silk and boring into the cob . Take 500 ml clear water bottles, trim off the top and slide the bottle down onto the corn cob
Thank you for all your hard work and sharing these recipes! I've never had chow chow, but boy it looks good! 😋 I'm gonna have to try some! Tell Maggie her flower bed is gorgeous! God Bless!

I ain’t got no sense 🤣
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays 😂😂😂. Well you have more than me because I talk to myself; constantly. 😂😂😂
Are you mistaking Meagan with Maggie?
@@pamp5797 no I’m not. Meagan knows what I’m talking about.
I tell my husband if he talks about himself anymore in the third person I’m going to mail him a letter, just to talk to me!!!! It drives me nuts, 😂
open kettle is the way I was taught but we didn't know it as open kettle, it was just canning pickles and jams.
Oim 73 yrs young, and open kettle is all I've ever known or done.. love your channel. Your kids are amazing, 2 very respectful children, you and Andy have done a wonderful job raising them. I anxiously wait for your videos.

Hi, Megan! Chow chow has always been one of our family's fall "clean up the garden" recipes! It changes every year 😂!
I have great memories making Chow Chow with my Granny. She ran all her veggies through a meat grinder, that she had mounted on a big like chopping block. I do have that meat grinder today. I don’t use it. but I have special memories of it being used. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings from TN.❤️
Aww - that really touched me in my heart! I have things that were passed down to me from my Granny too ❤
Very cool, thank you for sharing!
That Chow Chow is beautiful!! Great job
Thanks for taking us along.
My family came to the US through Elise Island I. 1890 from Germany. I learned to make Halupsie from my grandma who was born in 1905. My dad, her son said I make it better than she ever did. It’s basically stuffed cabbage with sourkrout and a meat and rice. So very yummy.
Chow Chow is the best! Brings back memories for me!! Thank you for sharing!
You are an absolute delight to watch Ms. Megan. Much love to you and your family from Appalachia Kentucky.
Those jars of chow-chow looks divine 😋 makes me miss my grammpa, that was always his garden canning contribution 😊
My grandma called it the end harvest canning it was everything that was left in the garden
My mom always made chow-chow, she called it the end of the garden chow-chow.
That’s what I heard it called when I lived in Knoxville in the early 80’s❤
I love the old timey way you can.
I tripled the chow chow recipe and it came out fantastic. I was able to use up the last of the garden peppers, tomatoes, and a big cabbage that I didn’t need for the kraut. The brine is a good balance between the vinegar and sugar. I added turmeric,cinnamon sticks, ginger, garlic, bay leafs and mustard seed.

Meghan - could you please make a video of you just reading the paper (or anything) because your voice is so soothing. I love listening to you ❤
Always love y'all
I always give a giggle when she talks about herself in the third person.
Bringing back memories of my mother canning peaches. She would turn the jars upside down and they were good in the pantry for months.
Never had Chow chow, might have to make it.
It’s delicious much better than any store bought so called chow chow or relish I love it just in my plate with fried potatoes and whatever I’m eating lol
Good morning from NW Oregon

Great videos
Love watching your show.😀
I've recently found your channel and I love it !!!
I was going to ask what you eat it with, so thank you. Thanks for another great video. Appreciate all your hard work!😊😊😊😊
When you have too many tomatoes consider making tomato water. You don’t can it though. It’s delicious fresh.
Nice to see local folks get almost 60K subscribers. I started watching when it was less than 5k.
Juice and ChowChowboth look good and tasty. You were busy today.😊
