1/2 large white onion
1 1/2 tablespoon of light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
Black Pepper to taste
1-2 cups water
2 tablespoons distilled white or cider vinegar

-Store in refrigerator or process in a water bath canner.
"At some point in your area’s growing season, those tomatoes will stop turning red and stubbornly stick to a tart green. If that happens, don’t despair! Here's a great Chow Chow recipe to use up that last harvest of tomatoes." ~ P. Allen Smith

My green tomatoes were waiting for this recipe. Thanks!
It’s on the stove right now. Smells wonderful!

Living in the mountains I’ve always pulled the plants at first frost and hung them upside down in the garage so they ripened and tasted fresh. The chow chow I’m definitely going to make. It looks yummy.
Yum Chow Chow...that is how I like to eat my green tomatoes.
Thank you.
This is a really nice chow chow recipe.
Cheers.
My grandma made chow chow when I was a child, it was so amazingly delicious. I love this 💚

Thank you for sharing your recipe P. Allen.🍅🌻
I forgot about chow chow and just pickled my greenies -- my Polish elders ate what is an Amish version of chow-chow. It was with cauliflower, red sweet and hot peppers, carrot, cabbage and beans.
In Kentucky my grandma made fried green tomatoes and chow chow. yum!
Thank you. Now I know what to do next year. Snowing and snow covered now. ☃️❄️👍🇨🇦💝
Dear God I love being a Southerner...
Oh I never get enough of fried green tomatoes.
Would love your fried green tomato recipe! Hope it's not a secret!
I don’t know about it being Southern, I am 76 years old and live in Utah and my grandmother made this, love it,. Also we made it from ripe tomatoesWithout the cabbage, delicious.
We used a little more vinegar and sugar. I have also used pickling spice and put it in cheese cloth and removed it after cooking.
@@bettyprescott7 I tend to slip in a little more vinegar myself!
We made what we called "Chili sauce" with the ripe ones. It was more like a chunky ketchup with cloves, cinnamon and maybe a few more spices. It is so good on scrambled eggs
sydneybeanpug I like it with hashbrowns and fried eggs yummy. We also called a chili sauce.
Chow chow supposedly originated in eastern Canada and spread throughout the US especially through Appalachia. The variety I'm familiar with is from PA and is a much chunkier relish with many different end of the season vegetables. The name is said to come from the French word for cabbage.
I’ve made this chow chow before and it is very good...... but who doesn’t like fried green tomatoes?!!!
Fried green tomatoes are my most favorite food. I can't ever get enough of them.
I love em!
I love this video! Thanks so much for sharing with us 👍👍😍
Fried green tomato sandwich is delicious!
Yes!
Great video
Love the recipe, nice share P. Allen Smith 👍🏻😄
🍅 There’s nothing better than fried green tomatoes!!!
A good way to fry the smaller ones is to dice them up like you would potatoes, coat them in your meal mixture - throw them in your skillet and let them fry. Yum!
Nice chow chow recipe. The more vinegar the better. Enjoy!
great idea,thanks🌹
Ms suezee61 You’re welcome. Enjoy.
Thanks for sharing! I love using my green tomatoes to make a spice cake with a cream cheese icing, yum!
Wait a minute please share more about green tomatoes in spice cake, please
I love them for pies too! pallensmith.com/recipes/recipe/sweet-green-tomato-pie/
39 y/o, lived in Ga. all my life and never knew, thanks.

I also added raisins.

Time to make Chow Chow.
You are awesome Allen!!!
We used our pumpkins and used them for our pumpkin relish. Or chow chow
The recipe I have is called Last of the garden relish. I haven't made it in years.
thank you about the information about second planting by seed. I live in zone 8a in Georgia
Salsa verde is also possible with green tomatoes.
John Pringle and so good! 😋
I've never had this chow chow you made. I only know of our bright green relish on a great Chicago hotdogs! 😁
I do love fried tomoatoes.
I'll take Jack Frost over our Arctic weather anyday. A little better here with double digits today but it's been in the single digits. It's going to be another one of Those winters for us, which I never look forward to. I cant figure out how to embrace and appreciate it. So I hibernate 🐻
Green tomater relish is in my future.
I look chow chow on my beans
A lot of my tomatoes were eaten before they turned red. We picked them off and fried them all the time.
I did not know this! I put my green tomatoes in freezer, really did not know what to do with them. Can I still use them if frozen already?
Sure!
Is this anything like piccalilli? Sounds delicious regardless. Peppers don’t like me-any other suggestions for ingredients?
Made piccalilli out of the Ball cookbook, it didn't go over well.
Different name-Same item
Fried green tomatoes are supposed to be delicious. Unfortunately I have never had them.
Chrystal Sabin you must try them! Here’s one of my favorite recipes. pallensmith.com/2016/09/26/perfect-fried-green-tomatoes/
