CHOWCHOW



Chowchow image

Canning and preserving have long been an essential tactic of survival, and chowchow is a condiment born of both ingenuity and necessity. Here, green tomatoes not yet ripe enough to eat are transformed into a bright pickled expression of the first days of summer. It has been said that chowchow began as a collection of remnant produce that couldn't be used in other dishes, so it became its own reclaimed relish. As you chop each vegetable, consider that origin: making the most from the least, creating abundance from scarcity. You can use four heatproof glass pint jars for this, though I prefer eight 8-ounce jars instead so I can share it around. Using pickling salt, such as Morton Canning & Pickling Salt, helps the liquid stay clear and keeps the cabbage from turning brown.

Categories     Cabbage     Tomato     Onion     Bell Pepper     Vinegar     Mustard     Garlic

Yield Makes about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small green cabbage (about 2 lb.), chopped into ½" pieces (about 10 cups)2 large green tomatoes, cut into ½" pieces
1 large sweet onion, cut into ½" pieces
1 large green bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, cut into ½" pieces
1 large red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, cut into ½" pieces
2 Tbsp. pickling salt or 3 Tbsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. yellow mustard seeds
1½ cups apple cider vinegar
1½ cups distilled white vinegar
2 cups cane sugar (such as Wholesome) or raw sugar
1 Tbsp. yellow mustard
1 tsp. ground turmeric
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Toss cabbage, green tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, and salt in a large bowl until all of the vegetables are coated in salt (this will help them release some water). Cover and chill at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours. Drain vegetables.
  • Toast mustard seeds in a large pot over medium-high heat, shaking pan, until fragrant and slightly darkened in color, about 2 minutes. Add both vinegars, sugar, mustard, and turmeric. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Add garlic and drained vegetables to pickling liquid and mix well. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil; cook 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors have melded and liquid is slightly reduced, about 15 minutes. The cabbage and green tomatoes should still have a bit of a crunch. Let cool (this will take about 1 hour).
  • Using a slotted spoon, divide chowchow among sterilized glass jars of choice and spoon pickling liquid over (chowchow should be submerged and there should be about ½" space at the top of each jar. Cover and chill.
  • Do ahead: Chowchow can be made 1 month ahead. Keep chilled. If you'd like to keep it longer, you can use the water bath boiling technique to make the jarred chowchow shelf stable.
