Green Tomato Chow-Chow



Green Tomato Chow Chow



  • 5 pounds green tomatoes

  • 3 pounds yellow onions

  • 1/2 cup coarse pickling salt

  • 1 and 1/2 pounds white sugar

  • 1/2 pound brown sugar

  • 2 Tbsp. prepared pickling spice

  • white vinegar



Thickly slice tomatoes and onions, then cut slices in half. Place in a large bowl and cover with brine made from water and the salt called for. Allow to soak for 6 hours in the brine. Drain and rinse well. Place tomatoes and onions in a large preserving kettle. Pour in vinegar almost to the top, but do not cover. Tie pickling spices in cheesecloth to create a spice bag. Add spice bag and sugars to the kettle. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until tomatoes and onions are softened. Discard spice bag. Ladle chow-chow into sterilized canning jars and process in a boiling water bath for 20 min.
