Directions:
Chow chow is a Southern relish, good with meats, barbecue, pinto beans, corn bread, and everything else. 1. In a large bowl, pour salt/sugar/chili flakes over the chopped cabbage. Squeeze the mixture, bruising cabbage, 5-8 minutes, until juices start to exude. 2. In a larger bowl, layer all the ingredients, and slowly mix by hand to blend them. 3. Fill 4 pint jars to the top with mixture (might have some leftover), and press down with a pestle or other tool. "Stomp" them all down, then add remaining ingredients. 4. Make sure brine covers mixture in jars. Cover tightly and let sit at room temperature for 1-2 weeks. 5. For first 2 days, check twice daily to make sure everything stays covered in brine. Then every day or two; "burp" jars and make sure covered in brine. |
