Zubereitung von Elizabeth's Green Tomato Chow Chow
- Soak 8 pounds of green tomatoes and 2 large onions, chopped, in 4 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of salt overnight.
- Drain the tomatoes and onions thoroughly in the morning.
- Place 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seed, 1 tablespoon celery seed, 1 tablespoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a cheesecloth bag; tie securely and crush gently with a rolling pin.
- Combine the drained tomatoes and onions in a large pot with 6 cups white vinegar and 4 cups of water. Add the spice bag.
- Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup brown sugar. Simmer for another 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 tablespoon dry mustard, and 1 teaspoon turmeric.
- Gradually whisk in a 1/2 cup of the simmering chow chow liquid to create a smooth paste. Stir the paste into the main pot.
- Add 2 bell peppers, finely chopped.
- Simmer for 1 to 2 hours, or until the chow chow has thickened considerably. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Carefully ladle the hot chow chow into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Seal according to the manufacturer's instructions. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude and jar size).
