Chow-Chow

The end to summer gardens has long past however, there are a few vegetables that have not ripened but can be used for things like Chow Chow which is a family favorite. I have disappointed family and friends if I do not have green tomatoes in an abundance for the makings of chow chow which the base is green tomatoes. Thanksgiving is a perfect time to share as a hostess gift or use yourself for a flavorful condiment to your Thanksgiving Dinner.
