Directions: |
Directions:Cook each vegetable separately until tender but not mushy. When each is finished, drain and rinse with cold water to stop its cooking and preserve its color.
Combine the sugar, vinegar, water and spices in a 15 quart or larger stockpot, and bring to a boil. Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved, then add all of the vegetables, bring back to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Stir gently only to mix the vegetables well. Spoon into hot sterilized jars and seal. |

Notes: This is close to the Chow Chow I remember. I don't remember celery and I thought Mom Mom used sour pickles cubed instead of cucumbers.
If anybody actually has Mom Mom's, please put it in the cookbook.
