Notes: My mom's mom made "pear relish" and it was delicious on hot dogs. She never wrote recipies down and when she passed away, the recipe left with her. I picked up a jar of Chow Chow at the grocery store and it was a close match to my grandmother's. I found several recipes...combined, omitted, and tweaked the final (this recipe).
