How to Make Sweet And Spicy Garden Relish Chow Chow
- Grate 4 quarts of mixed garden vegetables (cabbage, green tomatoes, zucchini, etc.) using a food processor. Place in a large bowl.
- Add 1/4 cup kosher salt to the grated vegetables. Cover with cold water and let stand for 1 hour.
- While the vegetables are soaking, combine 4 cups white sugar, 2 cups white vinegar, 2 tablespoons pickling spice, and 1 tablespoon mustard seeds in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Bring the sugar, vinegar, and spice mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain the vegetables thoroughly in a colander, pressing out as much excess liquid as possible.
- Add the drained vegetables to the simmering spice mixture. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Carefully ladle the hot relish into sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean. Place lids and screw bands on tightly.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
- Remove jars from the canner and allow to cool completely undisturbed on a towel for 24 hours. Check for seals – lids should not flex.
