Autumn is my favorite time of the year! Pumpkin spice everything please! I love when the leaves on the trees begin to change to shades of amber and red. However, the beginning of fall also means it’s time for me to say good-bye to my outside garden. I grow tomatoes and a wide variety of vegetables and herbs every spring, and by September I usually have green tomatoes still on the vine. But, instead of taking a chance that they will ripen, I pick them and make jars of Kentucky Chow-Chow. Whether, sweet, tangy or spicy, the flavor of these pickled tomatoes is an excellent accompaniment to so many dishes. As a child, my grandmother would can jars and jars of this Kentucky favorite. I used tomatoes and onions in this batch, but in all honesty, Chow Chow can be made with almost any left over vegetables in your garden. The recipe can be found on The Riverbed Bakery site at theriverbedbakery.com
Please give it a try and let me know how it goes.
