Oh, that turned out so good! One of my favorite memories was my grandma sending me to 8th grade with pinto beans, cornbread, and chow chow and I got made fun of. I got in that car and told her what had happened and she said "well clearly they are jealous. Their mamas sent them to school with potato chips and here you are with a whole supper."😂 I could definitely go for that right now.
My Wonderful Wife of 37 years passed about 20 months ago, I miss her everyday. Her favorite sandwich was a banana sandwich with mayo just like I saw you do the other day, but she had to have barbecue potato chips with her sandwich. You’re right, the odd things we’ve learned to love.
@@dannyfowler7055 I'm Soo sorry about your wife. I never been married but I'd imagine that'd be a heartbreak that's hard to heal and how it changes your life, so I'll say prayers for you and I hope each day it will get softer in the pain.
I just recently ran across your channel and I love it. I love the stories you tell and how you explain things so clearly. I love chow chow and I’ve never made it and I want To but I’m a little intimidated. God bless.
Wow!! What memories this brought back to me. My Aunt Lena had a neighbor, a sweet little old German lady named Minnie. When I was a small child, (a long long time ago) when we would visit her I would go over to Minnie's and hang out. She and her husband Henry would let me gather eggs, and other small chores. I can remember standing on a chair in her kitchen while she made chow chow in a white enamel pan. She let me stir as she added the ingredients. I loved it. Minnie would clean the small church down the road and I would tag along and play around on the piano while the smell of Murphy's Oil Soap filled the air. This was up near the Texas/Oklahoma border in a very rural little town, ( no joke they called it Bug Scuffle I think it was actually Harold). Down the gravel road a ways, there was a little wooden general store with a gas pump that my uncle would walk with me to and I would buy a bottle of orange Nehi Soda Pop. I really loved it there.
I'm from Northwest Ohio and there was a relish at the end of the season called end of the garden. It always reminds me of Southern chow chow. Is anybody else ever heard of this? I also want to add that you're seasonal and down-to-earth cooking is so refreshing and it reminds me of everything. I love about living in the country and having a garden
Yes, we make end of the garden relish or pickles here in Washington State. I always like to include some cauliflower but it's nearly the same as chow chow & always delicious.
When my sister and I were little, we wouldn’t eat chow chow because we thought it was dog food but now we both love it. 😂 My mom and I made chow chow a few years back and used a lot of sweet banana peppers. It was the best I’ve ever had.
This reminds me of my sweet grandmother. She made chow chow and it was sooo good. I sure wish she had written the recipe down. She put up lots of things from their garden. When I was little, I would pick up the vegetables that she deemed not good enough to put up and I would take them to my playhouse (the wood shed) and put them in a few jelly jars that I found in the attic of the woodshed and put water in the jars then I would put them on the wooden attached ladder that went up to the attic. Presto, I had my canned garden vegetables. 😃she would always give me flour and cornmeal that she said was a little old. (😉) just because she knew that I loved to mix up stuff and pretend to be cooking. I have sneaked out to their chicken coop and get an egg to add to my concoction. 😄 Thank you for sharing with us. She was always so fun. She kept us during the Summer as little children. She also would let me set a “ beauty shop” up in their guest bedroom. I would cut out pictures of hair styles and set her couple of wigs that she had but didn’t wear. She would come and sit down for her appt and would let me put those hard plastic rollers in her hair and pretend to fix her hair, hair spray and all. Those were such treasured times in my childhood and I miss her so much. It was my Daddy’s mother. Didn’t mean to write a book, but somehow I just could stop telling you about my treasured memories. 😊
@@alannagilmore8982 I have a 9 year old granddaughter that I have done so many things with. 😍We play the same way. She loves to “do my make-up” she pretends to be doing it correctly while all the time she is doing something so funny. She so far has made me up to look like a circus clown, 😄a raccoon, and a fox. 😂She is my only grandchild and I adore her! ❤️
My almost 90 year old mother still makes apricot jam from my parents tree. I remember hot days in our kitchen during the summer when she'd can tomatoes.
Tipper, you always bring back wonderful memories for me. I'm 74, but today you took me back to being a young girl in Momma's kitchen watching her put up chow-chow. It is delicious with pinto beans. Thank you Tipper! ❤Patsy
Mamaw put up what she called Farmer Brown Dinner and her chow-chow was always the star. Soup beans, green beans, tomatoes, green onions, poke salet, and cantaloupe to start. I’d give anything to sit down at that table again.
I've been making chow chow for the first time this year. I tried at least two different recipes. I have an old fashioned hand crank food chopper and my friend came over and helped me with one of my batches. It was fun. It makes the pieces small like a relish that you would buy in the store. I like that better as opposed to large chunks. I have really been enjoying it on all kinds of foods. I really love that you can use just about anything in it from your garden.
I love to watch your videos. It reminds me of my Kansas family from many years ago. I really miss them when I listen to and watch you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life.
In West Virginia, growing up we would make piccalilli. The day before the first killing frost in fall we would gather everything left in the garden, except the ripe tomatoes. We then ground it all together, including green tomatoes, and set it to fermenting for three days. We then put it up in jars and processed it in a hot water bath. Delicious on everthing I every put it on. Thanks for sharing. ❤😊❤😊❤😊
Thank you for showing how you do all of that putting up. i am envious of the larders people have. I have no memory of anyone in my family canning. I had at least two aunts who canned and I found my mother's canning jars in her attic when I was cleaning out her house and I kept them. If she did can anything after I was born she must have kept me out of the kitchen because I have no memory of it at all. I wish I could go back 30 years and ask them to first show me how to make a good garden that would produce enough to can and then how to can it all. Thank you for the video.
Tipper that’s the same chow chow recipe I’ve been using the past couple of years! It’s such a great one, I always make a regular and a hotter one, I have a few that like the hotter one. Loved the granny q&a she’s wonderful.
A good days work for a whole lot of food. You will so enjoy that the next months to come. Makes me feel rich when I "put up" stuff from the garden. Love the video! Thanks Tipper!
I lost my dad in2021. He used to put up. He used to make us SOS too! He used hamburger instead of chipped beef. When I was feeding the soldiers in the field, too, we used hamburger.
When I was a child, my mother would make chow chow because she and my father both loved it. When she got older and Dad no longer planted a garden, she couldn't make it anymore. I would find it sometimes at roadside stands. Whenever I found it, I would buy a few jars for her. Not sure if it tasted as good to her as the chow chow she made, but she seemed to enjoy it whenever I brought her some. Thanks for sharing this video.
There's something very nostalgic about canning and preserving. It takes a lot of time and patience in this "hurried" world we live in. Thank you for helping to keep these important skills on the forefront in daily life. My grandmothers on both sides of my family enjoyed making jams and pickles. I didn't start canning myself until after moving to Alaska several years ago, where rhubarb, rosehips and fireweed were bountiful for making preserves. We recently moved back down south where I've been making fig jam and muscadine grape jelly from fruit on the farm. It's fun foraging for berries and fruits unique to different parts of the country. It brings me joy to share God's wonderful bounty with others.
Speaking of food combinations that complement each other, I always like a PB sandwich with hamburger stew. I'm sure it was from the lunchroom in school. They just go Soo well together and make each one taste better when eaten together. And now of course after reminiscing about that, I want it for supper lol Something Soo silly is , Tipper? I've NEVER had chow chow. I love pickled everything. I think I'll go add a store bought jar to my Walmart delivery today and try it with a pot of beans. I'm sure it's not as good as homemade but I'd like to try it. Thank you for your video's. It's a part of my daily life and it's like visiting with a friend.
Tipper it all looks delicious and you are a pro, love chow chow anytime but especially when the weather turns, the jellies had my mouth watering, enjoyed the video❣️
Tipper - watching you spending a busy day in the kitchen 'putting up' things from the garden takes me back to helping my mama doing just this. Now that all my kids have grown and gone, I don't do as much anymore but still do freeze as well as preserve, to carry me from one season to the next season of plenty arrives. Back in the day, mama never water bathed her jams or jellies, but she did pour a half inch layer of melted paraffin wax over then put a lid on and it kept well - she did water bath everything else - I miss those days. .......big hugs to you all.
Growing up as kid in SW West Virginia, supper was pinto aka soup beans with Chow Chow, Fried Potatoes, Collard Greens, Corn Bread, when in season Sliced Tomatoes and Corn on the Cobb and of course the "house wine of the South" Sweet Tea. Good memories!
My aunt used to make the best chow chow. She could make it like no one else made it. I always hoped she had it when I was there. She also made the greatest salt pickles. I guess it was that Kentucky open well water. Her chow chow was always so good with soup beans and a pone of cornbread.
I'm happy to see how chow-chow's made. My great aunt Vera made chow-chow & my Dad loved to get a jar. He'd put it on his pinto beans with cornbread & butter. Good memories! Thanks for this video! :)
I sure wish I could be there in your kitchen, and eat your supper (and being invited, lol). We call it dinner but a friend of mine used to call it supper. Love it.
I absolutely love this video. It brought back memories of summers on the farm. I was raised on a tobacco farm in NC and my Mama canned jams, jelly, chow chow and pepper relish plus veggies. I even canned over forty years ago as a young wife and mother. Thank you for sharing your busy canning day with us ❤️
Wow!❤What a great productive canning day you had! I hope you put your feet up for a bit now and rest. I love watching you can and prepare food. You are so organized 😊 You bring back memories of my Mom canning. When people would come see us, she would take them on a tour of our fruit room. It was awesome seeing the pride in her display of the seasons harvest. Hat's off to you❤
Tipper, when I need some peace and calm, I play your videos. Your voice is so calming, and what you say is always so interesting. And I think it’s so wonderful how Matt is so kind and respectful to you.
Great video! I like how you don't worry when things aren't exact and take it in stride. My grandma made chow chow like that too. She used a lot more green tomatoes and just added anything else from the garden. Like Matt she loved hot pepper so she put a whole cayenne pepper in each jar, down the side so she could see which jars had that.
Hearing you calling the processing of foods as "puttin' up" brings me back to my youth and as a young woman. I put up strawberry jam but don't recall anything else in jellies. I sure put up a whole lot of other garden harvest. If I were young and still in Ohio, I'd do it again.
This brings back sweet memories of “puttin up” with my dear 91 year old mother. Neither of us is up to canning produce now but we did put in our time “puttin up” for my sweet Granny and our family. Mother liked to make icicle pickles, squash pickles, chow chow, and all kinds of jellies. We are like Granny in that our favorite was canning green beans. God bless you all! Praying for Granny and sweet Ira.
A neighbor down the road from us makes green tomato chow chow and sells it, so when he gets it ready I always pick up several jars to have in the winter to eat with all of the fresh peas I put up. We also eat ours in hot dogs lots of times.
Love 💗 listening to you “sitting in your kitchen”, Tipper 💗. My Aunt, who passed away in 1968 when I was only 9 years old, used to make and put up chow-chow. She also would put up bread and butter pickles along with many other things. She made the best Brunswick stew ever! I wish I knew her recipe for chow-chow! Back then, I didn’t like it at all. Thank you so much for your comforting voice 🥰. So soothing while I’m recovering ❤️🩹 from a stomach bug I caught from my Little 2 year Grandson.
Yummm..I love to mix 2 spoonfuls or so of chouchou with room temp cream cheese & eat on saltines with a cup of tea - Thank You for sharing your recipes- your channel reminds me so much of family long gone but not forgotten.
Topper, I was glad to hear you say you would eat the cabbage core. My sister and I would always take turns eating the core when Mom made coleslaw or chow chow. My sister-in-law pickled them too and they were good that way too. A lot of cooks on tv throw the core away and I’m at home talking to the tv saying, “don’t throw that away. It’s the best part.”
Hey Tipper, even watching you put up is very satisfying to me. You are a blessing! Chip beef gravy on toast sounds delicious. I haven't had it in years. Have a good evening. I enjoy hearing Ira in the background. He's gotta lot to say. Like his mama.❤❤❤
I like hearing Ira in the background and Woody. When we are over at there house. I had 1 child and she blessed us with 3 they are 36-32-29 and they aren’t married yet so I don’t get to hear babies. Before I left SC in the front of our neighborhood there were some children and I loved hearing them play I told my neighbor they sounded like a school yard. Wonderful hearing them.
Tipper my grandmas and aunts and uncles made various types of chow chow from sweet to savory to varying degrees of hot. I grew up on the gulf coast of Mississippi and it was always on the table. I married a NC native and he had never tried it but I converted him. I just love it😊
I think I could smell the chow chow all the way in Georgia, and that foam at the top of the jelly was my favorite part as a child growing up! I didn't inherit my mama or grandmama's love for putting up canned goods, but I sure did enjoy watching you do it! Thank you for bringing back some sweet memories for me.
Tipper, Being productive is your second nature & at the end of the day its so darn satisfying. During the winter months going to the cellar to get something I've canned is extra rewarding. We love chow chow with soup beans & cornbread & like you said its even tastier when the snow is flying. TY for sharing your wholesome Appalachian way of life. Love Y'all & God Bless.
I love cook books. I haven’t made chow chow for years. Love to eat it with fried potatoes, pinto beans, corn bread, yum…oh I made tippers biscuits this morning. They were so pretty, pretty enough to be in a magazine and were delicious. Thank you for this very special biscuit recipe.
After watching you all put up so much yummy vegetables I am trying to make pickles from the cucumbers I grew in my garden!! I have never done either before but you all inspired me to try!! Thank you and wish me luck!! 😊
My Aunties in Oklahoma made Chow Chow. I grew up in Calif in the Central Valley. When the big Cannery had too much fruit you could take your own containers, we used laundry baskets, and take all the Peaches and Apricots we wanted. We made jars and jars of jam and froze the fruit for pies. We just poured Parrafin Wax on top of each jar. It sealed them well and was easy. It was such a treat all winter.
I remember my grandparents making chow-chow---some sweet, some hot. They put all the vegetables through a hand cranked grinder with the coarse die. It was definitely an all day process, but it was a delicious and welcome addition to the table during the months to come. I learned the open kettle method for jams and jellies, too. Granny did it that way, and she taught me to do it that way. I've eaten countless jars of homemade jams, jellies and preserves & I'm still here to the tell the tale, 60 years later. :)
My Moma's chow chow was so good! I love chow chow on my pinto beans. It used to be easy to find in the stores. Now it is very hard for me to find. I like to go to Farmer's Markets. Sometimes I can find homemade chow chow there.
My Momma always skimmed off the foam on the Grape Jelly, put it in a bowl, and make toast for me, my Sister and my Daddy. So we could sample her jelly. I love your videos. I’m so thankful for them. ❤
We always ate squash relish with our pinto beans and cornbread. It was tart and sweet and so good with beans. I have eaten chow chow but for some reason my family never made it. Bless your sweet family.
You always get so much done in a days time. That chow chow looks delicious and so does the jellies. Supper sounds like it will be good too. I agree, you need some good soup beans and cornbread with that chow chow! I figure you will be making some in the next few days. 😄
Tipper watching you make Chow Chow and grape juice and jelly reminded me of being in the kitchen helping my Momma and Mammaw put up the Chow Chow and the wild grapes we would go pick out on the old roads in the country around Waco and Gatesville Tx. I always came home with a bunch of red bugs or chiggers. and Mammaw would fix me a special bath to help the itching and paint them with clear nail polish. Such sweet memories. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. You are one of my daily blessings.
My Grandma always made chow chow, and made wild plum jelly. I could just taste your chow chow you made , We always put our chow chow on top of our brown beans. This Okie is starving for everything you cook in that kitchen. In my books, You should receive the best cooker of the year award .
I love watching your channel. You do things my mom did when she canned that I don't see other channels doing. Like turning your jars upside down & covering your jars with towels. I have an old Chow Chow recipe that my grandma used & I remember her using her grinder to prepare the vegetables. She did the same with her "Grandma's Relish" & her zucchini relish. Thanks for bringing these memories forward.
Tipper you won't believe it but I have the same food processor!!!! I got it for a wedding gift in 1973!!😮. I still use it 😅. I'm 69 and still married ❤❤. My daughter has asked me many times why I don't buy a new one and I tell her why when this one is still working. I just thought you would like my little story. I love you with all my ❤. You make my day😂. 🎉🎉
Hard to believe the garden season is almost over. Looked at my cucumber leafs today and had to admit they’ve seen better days. The drought this year probably didn’t help but it’s getting time to say goodbye to them. I agree that besides the joy of growing stuff is the gift they are when you eat something you’ve put up months later. Thanks for the videos. Glad you’re coming back to Knoxville this fall.
SO INSPIRING! And you make it look easy, especially using the food processor. I'm gonna do these - that Chow-Chow so brings back family memories! 🎉 THANK YOU!
I am learning so much from you, Tipper. I am going to make Chow Chow now. It kind of reminds me of kimchi. I have never canned anything in my life, but have always wanted to try. Thanks to your guidance , I feel more confident in trying canning. Thank you so much! Take care and God bless.❤
The chow chow I grew up with had green tomatoes as a main ingredient and probably no cabbage. It was eaten with red (pinto) beans. A related relish was pear relish made in the fall. As a kid I was not crazy about either, but my taste is different now.
This video is so informative!! I’m gonna save it and watch it until I get all these delicious recipes right! You are a wonderful woman and I really enjoy watching you and the family!! You remind me so much of my mom❤
Tipper, even though you are younger than my girls, I always get the warm and cozy feeling of watching my great aunts putting up the garden when I watch your channel. Thank you for keeping my memories going!

Back in the day, mama never water bathed her jams or jellies, but she did pour a half inch layer of melted paraffin wax over then put a lid on and it kept well - she did water bath everything else - I miss those days. .......big hugs to you all.
Growing up as kid in SW West Virginia, supper was pinto aka soup beans with Chow Chow, Fried Potatoes, Collard Greens, Corn Bread, when in season Sliced Tomatoes and Corn on the Cobb and of course the "house wine of the South" Sweet Tea. Good memories!
I could just SMELL My Grandmas Kitchen watching you make Jelly. Memories 😥🥰
My aunt used to make the best chow chow. She could make it like no one else made it. I always hoped she had it when I was there. She also made the greatest salt pickles. I guess it was that Kentucky open well water. Her chow chow was always so good with soup beans and a pone of cornbread.
Sounds so good!
I'm happy to see how chow-chow's made. My great aunt Vera made chow-chow & my Dad loved to get a jar. He'd put it on his pinto beans with cornbread & butter. Good memories! Thanks for this video! :)
I sure wish I could be there in your kitchen, and eat your supper (and being invited, lol). We call it dinner but a friend of mine used to call it supper. Love it.
God Bless the Prepared and the endless stores of love and care put up for the ones they love.
😊
Lovely
Wow Tipper! That was a great day of canning! Lots of wonderful eats for the winter. Thanks for sharing!! God bless!
It all looks so good and your family will enjoy all of your hard work and the love you put into every jar. 😊
Thanks so much 😊
Fantastic day of putting up
Awesome Tipper….thank you so much….💜💜💜
I absolutely love this video. It brought back memories of summers on the farm. I was raised on a tobacco farm in NC and my Mama canned jams, jelly, chow chow and pepper relish plus veggies. I even canned over forty years ago as a young wife and mother. Thank you for sharing your busy canning day with us ❤️
Wow!❤What a great productive canning day you had! I hope you put your feet up for a bit now and rest. I love watching you can and prepare food. You are so organized 😊
You bring back memories of my Mom canning. When people would come see us, she would take them on a tour of our fruit room. It was awesome seeing the pride in her display of the seasons harvest. Hat's off to you❤
My aunt would make watermelon pickles, I really loved those 😋
I’ve always wanted to make them 😊
@@CelebratingAppalachia I hope sometime you will, and share the process. 👍💝
Tipper, when I need some peace and calm, I play your videos. Your voice is so calming, and what you say is always so interesting. And I think it’s so wonderful how Matt is so kind and respectful to you.
Great video! I like how you don't worry when things aren't exact and take it in stride. My grandma made chow chow like that too. She used a lot more green tomatoes and just added anything else from the garden. Like Matt she loved hot pepper so she put a whole cayenne pepper in each jar, down the side so she could see which jars had that.
Hearing you calling the processing of foods as "puttin' up" brings me back to my youth and as a young woman. I put up strawberry jam but don't recall anything else in jellies. I sure put up a whole lot of other garden harvest. If I were young and still in Ohio, I'd do it again.
This brings back sweet memories of “puttin up” with my dear 91 year old mother. Neither of us is up to canning produce now but we did put in our time “puttin up” for my sweet Granny and our family. Mother liked to make icicle pickles, squash pickles, chow chow, and all kinds of jellies. We are like Granny in that our favorite was canning green beans. God bless you all! Praying for Granny and sweet Ira.
I know what S.O.S. stands for: Scrumptiousness On a Shingle! God bless!
😊
Wow, everything looks so colorful and fresh ❤❤
I enjoyed this video so very much ! Thank you for your channel, it is a blessing to so many
I sure miss my mom's Chow Chow... enjoyed the day in the kitchen 🤗❤️
I enjoy hearing little Ira in the background. Thanks for sharing. 💕
Thanks for watching!
Love hearing babies and toddlers. They’re what make a home feel even more special!
Both my Mamaws made chow chow. One sweet and one spicy. Great with soup beans, fat back, greens and cornbread!
Yum!
A neighbor down the road from us makes green tomato chow chow and sells it, so when he gets it ready I always pick up several jars to have in the winter to eat with all of the fresh peas I put up. We also eat ours in hot dogs lots of times.
I like chow, chow on top of fried potatoes…we like it with chips.
Love 💗 listening to you “sitting in your kitchen”, Tipper 💗. My Aunt, who passed away in 1968 when I was only 9 years old, used to make and put up chow-chow. She also would put up bread and butter pickles along with many other things.
She made the best Brunswick stew ever!
I wish I knew her recipe for chow-chow! Back then, I didn’t like it at all.
Thank you so much for your comforting voice 🥰. So soothing while I’m recovering ❤️🩹 from a stomach bug I caught from my Little 2 year Grandson.
I’m so glad you enjoy it 😊 I hope you feel better soon 😊
@@CelebratingAppalachia♥️
I love to watch you "put up" food Tipper, it's so mesmerizing. OH boy does that chow chow look wonderful!!
😊 thank you
Cuisinart stainless steel pans cannot be beat
Yummm..I love to mix 2 spoonfuls or so of chouchou with room temp cream cheese & eat on saltines with a cup of tea - Thank You for sharing your recipes- your channel reminds me so much of family long gone but not forgotten.
Topper, I was glad to hear you say you would eat the cabbage core. My sister and I would always take turns eating the core when Mom made coleslaw or chow chow. My sister-in-law pickled them too and they were good that way too. A lot of cooks on tv throw the core away and I’m at home talking to the tv saying, “don’t throw that away. It’s the best part.”
I like the fat stems at the base of the leaves, especially in red cabbage.
😊 I love it!
Hey Tipper, even watching you put up is very satisfying to me. You are a blessing! Chip beef gravy on toast sounds delicious. I haven't had it in years. Have a good evening. I enjoy hearing Ira in the background. He's gotta lot to say. Like his mama.❤❤❤
😊 thank you
I like hearing Ira in the background and Woody. When we are over at there house. I had 1 child and she blessed us with 3 they are 36-32-29 and they aren’t married yet so I don’t get to hear babies. Before I left SC in the front of our neighborhood there were some children and I loved hearing them play I told my neighbor they sounded like a school yard. Wonderful hearing them.
Tipper my grandmas and aunts and uncles made various types of chow chow from sweet to savory to varying degrees of hot. I grew up on the gulf coast of Mississippi and it was always on the table. I married a NC native and he had never tried it but I converted him. I just love it😊
Love that 😊
I think I could smell the chow chow all the way in Georgia, and that foam at the top of the jelly was my favorite part as a child growing up! I didn't inherit my mama or grandmama's love for putting up canned goods, but I sure did enjoy watching you do it! Thank you for bringing back some sweet memories for me.
😊 thank you
Awww, chow chow . I miss chow chow. I remember my grandmother making chow chow. Maybe I will look for it a Farmers Market.
😊
Tipper, I love how you say “sandwich”…. I could watch you can all day. Loved this one!
😊 thank you
Tipper, Being productive is your second nature & at the end of the day its so darn satisfying. During the winter months going to the cellar to get something I've canned is extra rewarding. We love chow chow with soup beans & cornbread & like you said its even tastier when the snow is flying. TY for sharing your wholesome Appalachian way of life. Love Y'all & God Bless.
My mom used to make sos on toast for dinner. So many memories.
I love cook books. I haven’t made chow chow for years. Love to eat it with fried potatoes, pinto beans, corn bread, yum…oh I made tippers biscuits this morning. They were so pretty, pretty enough to be in a magazine and were delicious. Thank you for this very special biscuit recipe.
Wonderful!!
My son and I enjoyed watching this video. He eats a lot of chou chou. Give Granny and little Ira and Woody a hug. Praying for you and your family.
Thank you so much
I also love seeing the star over your head while you are working. Did you ever notice it - so sweet!
Thank you 😊
After watching you all put up so much yummy vegetables I am trying to make pickles from the cucumbers I grew in my garden!! I have never done either before but you all inspired me to try!! Thank you and wish me luck!! 😊
Best of luck to you! I have tried to grow cucumbers but never a one made it to harvest. Maybe next year.
Wonderful! You can do it 😊
My Aunties in Oklahoma made Chow Chow. I grew up in Calif in the Central Valley. When the big Cannery had too much fruit you could take your own containers, we used laundry baskets, and take all the Peaches and Apricots we wanted. We made jars and jars of jam and froze the fruit for pies. We just poured Parrafin Wax on top of each jar. It sealed them well and was easy. It was such a treat all winter.
I remember my grandparents making chow-chow---some sweet, some hot. They put all the vegetables through a hand cranked grinder with the coarse die. It was definitely an all day process, but it was a delicious and welcome addition to the table during the months to come.
I learned the open kettle method for jams and jellies, too. Granny did it that way, and she taught me to do it that way. I've eaten countless jars of homemade jams, jellies and preserves & I'm still here to the tell the tale, 60 years later. :)
Love all the colors in chow chow..
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕🌄
My Moma's chow chow was so good! I love chow chow on my pinto beans. It used to be easy to find in the stores. Now it is very hard for me to find. I like to go to Farmer's Markets. Sometimes I can find homemade chow chow there.
My Momma always skimmed off the foam on the Grape Jelly, put it in a bowl, and make toast for me, my Sister and my Daddy. So we could sample her jelly. I love your videos. I’m so thankful for them. ❤
We always ate squash relish with our pinto beans and cornbread. It was tart and sweet and so good with beans. I have eaten chow chow but for some reason my family never made it. Bless your sweet family.
Squash relish is good 😊
Yum, ChowChow with pintos and cornbread! Love it! Enjoy your dinner! God bless y’all! 😀❤️🙏🏻
Chelsea from Little Mountain Ranch made a peanut butter and cucumber sandwich yesterday. She’s in Canada! I’m going to try it. 😊
I can smell your kitchen all the way in nh!
You always get so much done in a days time. That chow chow looks delicious and so does the jellies. Supper sounds like it will be good too. I agree, you need some good soup beans and cornbread with that chow chow! I figure you will be making some in the next few days. 😄
Tipper watching you make Chow Chow and grape juice and jelly reminded me of being in the kitchen helping my Momma and Mammaw put up the Chow Chow and the wild grapes we would go pick out on the old roads in the country around Waco and Gatesville Tx. I always came home with a bunch of red bugs or chiggers. and Mammaw would fix me a special bath to help the itching and paint them with clear nail polish. Such sweet memories. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. You are one of my daily blessings.
Love those memories! Thank you 😊
I’d forgotten about using clear nail polish on chigger bites!
The jelly and Chow Chow look really good!
I could watch u all the time!!
Thank you 🙂
My Grandma always made chow chow, and made wild plum jelly. I could just taste your chow chow you made , We always put our chow chow on top of our brown beans. This Okie is starving for everything you cook in that kitchen. In my books, You should receive the best cooker of the year award .
You are so kind 😊 thank you
Liked Mama's chow chow and homemade pickles.
Growing, harvesting, and canning!!!! Now that’s a labor of love, Tipper!!
I love watching your channel. You do things my mom did when she canned that I don't see other channels doing. Like turning your jars upside down & covering your jars with towels. I have an old Chow Chow recipe that my grandma used & I remember her using her grinder to prepare the vegetables. She did the same with her "Grandma's Relish" & her zucchini relish. Thanks for bringing these memories forward.
Yum! Love what you are putting up today!
Tipper you won't believe it but I have the same food processor!!!! I got it for a wedding gift in 1973!!😮. I still use it 😅. I'm 69 and still married ❤❤. My daughter has asked me many times why I don't buy a new one and I tell her why when this one is still working. I just thought you would like my little story. I love you with all my ❤. You make my day😂. 🎉🎉
Love that!
I have the same one too. When I moved from California to Tennessee 10 years ago.....yep I brought it with me......
Hard to believe the garden season is almost over. Looked at my cucumber leafs today and had to admit they’ve seen better days. The drought this year probably didn’t help but it’s getting time to say goodbye to them. I agree that besides the joy of growing stuff is the gift they are when you eat something you’ve put up months later. Thanks for the videos. Glad you’re coming back to Knoxville this fall.
SO INSPIRING! And you make it look easy, especially using the food processor. I'm gonna do these - that Chow-Chow so brings back family memories! 🎉 THANK YOU!
I am learning so much from you, Tipper. I am going to make Chow Chow now. It kind of reminds me of kimchi. I have never canned anything in my life, but have always wanted to try. Thanks to your guidance , I feel more confident in trying canning. Thank you so much! Take care and God bless.❤
The chow chow I grew up with had green tomatoes as a main ingredient and probably no cabbage. It was eaten with red (pinto) beans. A related relish was pear relish made in the fall. As a kid I was not crazy about either, but my taste is different now.
That sounds great 😊
I love love chow chow particularly hot and spicy!! I also like seedless blackberry jelly an awesome day of putting up!!
I remember chow chow, growing up in East Tennessee. I didn’t know how it was made though. I remember it was eaten with great northern(soup) beans!!!
This video is so informative!! I’m gonna save it and watch it until I get all these delicious recipes right! You are a wonderful woman and I really enjoy watching you and the family!! You remind me so much of my mom❤
Tipper, even though you are younger than my girls, I always get the warm and cozy feeling of watching my great aunts putting up the garden when I watch your channel. Thank you for keeping my memories going!
Delicious crowning effort👸of Tipper's love for her family !!!
You are so kind
Loved all this putting up stuff I love chow chow jelly and pickles thanks for showing us all this Tipper ❤️ Shelby
My grandmother's chow chow was made with green tomatoes. Best stuff!!!
