- Sorry about the length of this video. You may want to look at it in two parts but canning is lengthy.
This is my procedure on how to can Chow Chow. Chow Chow is a southern relish made from green tomatoes, cabbage, onions, peppers, etc. Garden ingredients.
I really do love the fact that" YOU DO HOLD ON TO FAMILY TRADITIONS " THESE TRADITIONS WILL FOREVER BE LOST IF IT WERE NOT FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU. I wish I had a grater like you mammas. That machine is way better than our modern food processors. Thanks 😊 for your video.

I grew up a Yankee, ate Chow Chow all my life. My Lithuanian mother made it after her mother taught her how to do it. I am eating the very last jar I made some 18 months ago. Love it ever so much.I am 87 years old and I plan to make a new batch in February.
Wow, I’m impressed 😊

You have a wonderful, comforting personality. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, wit, and wisdom with us!
Thank You, I remember making this every year when I was young with my Grandmother, Mother, Sister and Aunts They just needed me to turn the grinder. We made mild and Very hot Chow Chow It was all very good and never lasted very long. After watching this my Sisters and I (now in my seventies) got together and made a large batch and WOW we were back in our teen years. We will be making it from now on. Thanks Again.
Grandma CheapCheap, I have been watching your shows and I absolutely love them. You remind me of my grandmother, and it's nice to have the recipes and techniques being displayed, so us youngins' can learn real cooking. Keep up the good works.
I love that food processor. I also purchased a similar one about 25 years ago. MIne is called a "Salad Master" and it has about 6 different cylindrical attachments. Love that thing!
You had me at WVa. I have family in Cabin Creek. This makes me miss my favorite aunt. 💕
hello, I'm a ca. city girl moved to tn. and met and married a southern jent,20 yrs younger might I add , needless to say I never gardened or canned before , well he came up with talking about chow chow after we got married and I had my first garden , i learned how to waterbath can via the Internet , was scared of pressure canning so many horror stories lol , been going nuts canning,I love it ... I finally used my pressure canner, 2 weeks ago after having it sit in its box for 3 yrs , scared to death of it ... I'm using it now.. I'm so excited. .. anyways , I have to try this chow chow I made some for hubby but wasn't quite the way he liked it lol ... going to try yours this weekend,
weather hasn't let us start to plant our garden yet , so going to go to the Amish produce market , I've enjoyed your video and can't wait to make this and so much more this year since I am now retired ...thank you , your the greatest !
I have been making Chow Chow for years, I have always water bath canned it . you cook the ingredients for about 10 minutes, fill your jars and then put in the water bath for 10 minutes. You don't have to pressure cook anything that you use vinegar in..
Thank you for this info. I have never made this, but it sounds great.
15 to 20 min depending on altitude in southern Colorado.
☝🏻💁🏻♀️YES...AND your "debubbling" will be more accurate because there will be less of the possibility of hidden air pockets.
AFTER filling your jars...DEBUBBLE FIRST THEN WIPE THOSE RIMS & THREADS WITH A CLOTH DAMPENED WITH WHITE VINEGAR
Rings do not need to be in water HOWEVER they should ONLY be finger tight...NOT forced tight because the air must be able to escape
☆10 mins when 1000ft BELOW sea level 😁👍🏻
Thanks for the memory of my mama's grater! I would love to have one like it.
thank you for this recipe! cant wait to try this. I am also from West Va. i love to eat chow chow on pinto beans with cornbread
Such a sweet beautiful spirit about you. I too seem to be the one who holds on to recipes for the family and traditional things.
Hi from BC Canada I do all the stuff my mom did and so privileged and honored to be the one to spend the time with my mom,learning and helping. Blessings 🇨🇦🙏
I love chow chow, love your recipe, love mamas grater! God Bless,xoxoxo
Thanks, Grandma!!! This video was made 8 years ago, look like its standing the test of time!
My husband is from North Carolina and his Grandmother used to make Chow Chow. He said he loved it. This sounds just like it, so, I am going to make this for him. Thank you so much for posting, Grandma Cheap Cheap! I certainly appreciate your time and expertise!
This is my first time making Chow Chow. I have scanned UA-cam for recipes. I have come up with a combination of a lot of different ones. I and my husband prefer a spicy chow chow so I am adding jalapenos, banana peppers and Anaheim peppers. I'm also adding dill and garlic. We shall see. You have an awesome recipe! For me it's just going to be trial and error. So far everything I have put up this year has turned out fabulous. Loved our garden this year it was totally organic. Next year adding to what we planted this year. Already have a lay out of our future garden. ❤
I'm sure your family loves your cooking! Good for you for keeping with traditions. Young folks need to see more of that.
Yes we do. Thankful for the wisdom
i remember having this a long time ago with my girlfriend in high school...her mom used to make it and i luved it...so now i learn how to make it ...i cook all the time but have never pickled b4 so i been on utube a lot now...your recipe is spot on...you have a big fan now...
You have a sweet attitude and are pleasant to listen to. God bless!😇
My your mama's grater and making chow chow took me back! I'm 58, and my grandma had a grater that was probably even older than yours! The main body of it was cast iron, and it fastened onto the edge of the table with a bolt. I remember helping her make chow chow when I was real little. Thank you for the recipe, as I had forgotten all about it over the years.
Thanks for grandma memories:) Hope you have grandkids to share traditions with. Sharing with us is wonderful but grandkids are better.
I enjoyed your video. Your end result of chow chow looks delicious and thank you for sharing all the tips that went along with it. I did not know these tip.
You Wonderful job remind my mother she’s going to heaven now, but you take care and God bless
My condolences 🙏
She has such a soothing personality in this video. Thanks😊
luv ur mamas grater! I'm from alabama and we eat alot of chow chow . It is very good on beans, greens and anything inbetween!!
This video took me back, those were some of the days of my life. God Bless
Beautiful chow chow, I really do like your recipe the most. I am fixing to make some your way.. Thanks grandma.
thank you! My Granma used to make chow chow! people these days seem not to know what it is! will be making some from my garden! Thank you so very much!
I love your video. My mother was also a VA native and she made her chow chows all different ways and I do the same. some I leave out to ferment on there own, others I will water bath. Keep doing those old methods.
This reminds me so much of my Grandma's Chow Chow. I'm originally from Western NC but have lived in SF bay area, Ca for the last 25 years. She always made it heavy with green tomatoes and bell peppers. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos, canning is a dying art. Regards, CornStarch
No problem! You were so right when you said we have to keep tradition. We lost my Nanny (great grandma) at almost 100 a few years ago, and my Grandma is 83 this Sept. I am going to help keep the old ways of doing things around too as long as I can. I grew up in Appalachia, in the Smokies. I really miss the old fashioned way and slower pace of my youth. Thanks and I look forward to more of your videos! Regards, CornStarch
Thank you for the great recipe! As an American guy who lived literally all over the U.S. as the child of a Navy lifer... joined the Navy myself and then moved all around.... I love, love, regional recipes. Living now in the Netherlands, I finally bought myself a pressure canner so I can both water can and pressure can. Of course my Dutch partner doesn't really "get it"... :) But, I have fun! Again... thank you for the recipe... and awesome camera work. Your personality shines through!
Great chow chow relish. Thinking of my mom and grannies. :). I am the only 30 something in my family that knows how to make our family chow chow. Great memories.
I was born and raised in WV, I remember chow chow was well. Thanks for sharing your video.
Hello, l am new to your channel and gardening. I grew hot peppers in my garden bed. Someone mentioned about me making cha cha, that my grandmother use to make so, I'm going to make it for the first time. Using your recipe, it looks delicious. Thank you for sharing 😊
Lord you are first to make me understand how to use that dab blame air bubble thing hahaha I was just saying before turning your video on I sure wish I knew how this thang truly works! So thank you so much enjoyed learning with you today.
I live in the Ohio Valley in West Virginia and it and the Kanawa Valley might be the most beautiful place on Earth. We have some good food to and thank you for making this Chow Chow I’m going to copy your recipe.
Video length is fine, I have done chow chow but you have given me idea's on extra's I can add... Love your gizmo. I have my Mom's but it is smaller and attaches to edge of a table only. It has no legs. Thanks for sharing!
It looks delicious and you made it look pretty easy to do. Thanks for sharing your recipe and your family history. I love History, especially our history.
I love chow chow. My mom use to can it up. I love your easy recipe. I am trying it this weekend. I just bought cabbage and everything.
I didn't know what chow chow was! But that looks so good that I am gonna try and make some!
An absolute pleasure to watch you enjoy this canning process! I just made a batch of amazing pickles and they are a hit among friends. thanks for sharing and I look forward to watching more of you!
I can't wait to make this recipe. Ive been eating chow chow for a long tine. I love it. Thank you for an easy recipe.
Don't be sorry for the length of your demo and conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed, and will really make some this summer. I make hot kraut which is similar but, your recipe looks better than what I make..TYVM
Thank you, I have good memories of my father making it when I was a child. And we used to put it on top of cabbage and it taste so good
My mom would make chow chow when I was a child, I love it, thank you so very much for showing me how to make it,
Hi Grandma! I'm told the Iodine is an anti-bacterial so you don't want it in your canned vegetables, in particular your Lacto-fermented because it would destroy the good healthy in the process.
I'm new here and glanced through the comments but someone may have already mentioned it. Thanks for the best recipe i've seen yet. :)
The good, healthy 'Bacteria' I should have said. Thanks again and I love the cherished hand grinder as well as your keeping with/ passing on your family tradition to all.
That sounds wonderful. That's a great discovery i imagine someone will surely enjoy.Two thumbs up.
i just finished the vid.. wow.. i never saw any one can before.. i think i will do some homemade soups.. u know the ones we see for so much money already in jars like this.. i will ma my own and i then save money and know whats in it.. im thinking some fruits that will be out of season soon.. also tings like chicken and rice soup etc.. love it.. u inspired this.. ty again..lov u
THANK YOU! I am going to make some of this! It looks soooooo good! I could just get a spoon and eat it right out of the jar!!!!
STRAWBERRY COOKIE BARS!!!!! Wow! You don't be playin' in the kitchen!
Loved your video , just finished a batch of chow chow but i see you cold pack. I will have to try it your way as it looks so much nicer finished than my precooked.
My husband has been asking for chow-chow! Thanks for the recipe!
Lady, you are amazing!
thank you for this vid, as I'm watchin it I'm in tears because it reminds me of my Great Grandmomma Leila, she loved some chow chow, had it with almost every meal. I will make some in her honor :) thanks again !!
Thank you so much for this and don't worry about the length of the video it was well worth the time. This was such a well done and explained process that I can't wait til I can get the next round of vegetables in to make some for my family.
I love chow chow made it once and never got any everyone else wanted some, soon I would like to do it again.
Thanks so much for this video! I have been searching for a chow chow recipe with cabbage and this is so wonderful. I can't wait to make a batch!
That is one nice grater! I have my mother-in-law’s and it has to attach from above and under counter !
Love this I have learned a lot from grand ma cheap cheap
I helped make this with my granny. Good with anything.
Beautiful!! Thank you!
Grandma Cheap Cheap please wash and sterilize everything if you are going to water bath can. I have canned for years and I can everything that can be safely canned. I love your recipe♥️ thank you for sharing it!
Grandma Cheap Cheap I love your videos♥️ you are one of the very first UTubes videos I ever watched..years ago. From one Gram to another you are precious!
My dad loved to make (and eat!) Chow Chow, and he was from Montreal! (By way of Detroit) I can't wait to try this,
it will be fun to make!
Hi Grandma
I liked your video so much as it brought back fond memories of my youth in the country down South. I can't wait to try the pork chop pan. I live alone now and that will be just the right size meal for me.Thanks for all you do in sharing it with us. Choctawman
Loved Chow Chow as a child. Yum! Made some recently. Added corn.
Thanks for this grandma cc. Im from south carolina but i never heard of it. Will add this to my recipe box.
I have been wanting to make my own chow chow. Thanks for your video. I will now try your recipe and see how goes,
Good job it looks delicious:)
Great grinder, looks like it chops veggies fast and easy!
I bought a big old grater like that awhile back. Now I know why. I love chow chow.
the reason for not using iodized salt is, it changes the color of your food, turning them grey or dark. Just does not look appealing. I love chow chow and have been looking for a good recipe. Can't wait to try yours out!
Shout out from Australia Grandma. I have just subscribed, can't wait to watch more.
Love it🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 brings back memories of my nanna 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
Just came across your tutorial. I make chow chow every summer but I add hot peppers as the family all like it that way. I am going to try your way this week so my husband can enjoy it as he's the only one who doesn't like hot peppers. Yours turned out beautifully. TFS.
Goodness, CC! Another yummy "new-to-me" recipe. Sounds like a nice little treat to give to friends & neighbors, too. Actually, that bowl didn't seem too small; however, you might consider stirring the first half in the bowl before adding the second half OR mix half of each ingredient in separate bowls; thus, making combining easier/quicker.
I have never heard of chow chow before but its definitely looks good...Its hard to find green tomatoes where I live in fact I have never eaten them before!!! lol!!!
🌽
I think your not to use iodine salt because to darkens the veggie and they don't crisp up as well.
I'm 60 been putting up chow chow for many many years. Always used a hot water bath. Born and raised in Texas guess chow chow gets around.Lol
I love watching videos on canning and preserving. My pet peeve is that people don’t post their recipe. I know a lot of the family heirloom recipes aren’t always saved in measurements but it would be so nice of even a guesstimate could be posted. I’m trying to catch all of the details so I can make this. Sounds wonderful and I hope my batch turns out! If anyone has a recipe could you please share? Many thanks in advance!
yummy, yummy I will be making some this week.
Looks so easy
OMG!!!! YOU ARE GRANDMA CHEAP CHEAP!!!! I hear other UA-camrs talk about you all the time (all good things, of course). I was looking for a recipe for CHOW CHOW and your video was the first one to com up. Okay.....Shhhh.....I'm watching your video! :D
Found your Video
Love ❤️ it
You know what, CC? I would enjoy meeting your Mister on camera, if he is not adverse to making an appearance. Also, your garden intrigues this gal who lacks a green thumb. Maybe next planting season you might share gardening tips & periodic tours of the garden, just so we can see how your garden grows? I would so enjoy that!
Blessings from West Virginia!
Darn I didn't even think of using my grader! Its awesome isn't it. Only chopped the cabbage tho thanks for the reminder. I will finish the rest with it. But I am using a recipe that uses cabbage and cucumbers.
Awesome!!
Love this recipe.
Salad Master!!! I am also from WV!
Looks delicious!
Can you tell me what are the tools you're getting lids out with, and where to purchase? I enjoyed coming across your video...I plan on trying your method
I like and I learn how to make chow chow
what size jars were you using?
Don't think there is any problem with water bathing your chow chow as it is pickled with vinegar. Some people water bath pickles and some just leave on the shelf. My mother always made chow chow when I was a little girl. I didn't eat it then, but I didn't eat much of anything that was good for me when I was young. This recipe sounds delicious. I don't want to call you Gramma as I am older than you (65). Keep up the wonderful videos!
What is the name of the shredder you are using?
Where can I get one like that??
What do you do with your chow if it’s too bitter?
great video, making it now!!
I enjoyed this very much what would you use this for
13 minutes.. yes...lol.. u are good...smiling
Yes
we tried this it was good. give you 10
Thank you so much! My mom made that also,..
I know you posted this a long time ago but hopefully you’re still connected to UA-cam . I wondered if you could substitute it for red cabbage?
My sister I'm from down south North Carolina. When I was a child my mother used red cabbage as well is pretty much the same thing just a different color. Just like you can use red yellow orange bell pepper in it as well. It's basically what your taste is.
@@sirthames thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I made it with the red since that’s what I had lol I liked the taste but I’ve never had it before so wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be a bit more on the bitter -ish side like a sauerkraut
