Subject:         Cha Cha = Chow Chow???

The closet name I know to this is a relish dish by the Amish/PA
Dutch community called Chow Chow.  Here is several recipes.  I 
hope this is what you are looking for.  Very good eating and a 
great way to clear out the garden at the end of season.

1 quart of string beans,
1/2 doz. red peppers,
1 pint of lima beans,
1 pint of small onions,
1 doz. ears of corn,
2 tablespoonfuls of salt,
1/2 lb. of sugar,
1/4 lb. of mustard.
Mix mustard and vinegar and bring to a scald. Cook separately the
corn, onions, and beans till tender. Put all the ingredients 
together, boil only five minutes and seal.

1 pint small onions,
and about 50 little pickles.
 

Slice the onions, cabbage and tomatoes on slaw cutter. Cut the
peppers and
cucumbers into small pieces. Put all of rise with cauliflower 
into strong salt water and boil until tender but not too soft. 
Then drain well through a sieve or colander. Put back into the 
kettle with the small onions, celery, and little pickles. The 
small pickles should stand in salt water several times before 
adding. Add to this i pound of white mustard seed, tablespoonful 
of celery seed, handful each of cinnamon bark and whole
allspice, some mace and pint of grated horseradish, I gallon of
cider vinegar.

Mix up some yellow mustard and add half a teaspoonful of turmeric,

Dryville Chow Chow
MAKES 16 PINTS

recipe from a church in Dryville, PA.

1 pound bag dried Navy Beans
1 pound bag dried Red Kidney Beans
1 quart (5 pounds) unshelled lima beans
2 pounds stringbeans (combination of yellow and green)
1 large head cauliflower
1 medium head celery
4 large sweet red peppers
4 large sweet green peppers
1 quart (2 pounds) carrots
1-1/2 cups small boiling onions (can used canned cocktail onions,
rinsed and drained)
1-1/2 cups small sweet gherkins (can used canned, rinsed and
drained)
1 gallon white vinegar
6 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup coarse canning or kosher salt, more or less to taste

Cook dried beans separately, according to package directions, 
until tender.
Rinse with cold water and drain. Set aside. Cook all other fresh 
vegetables separately until crisp-tender; drain and immerse 
immediately in ice water. This will stop cooking and help retain 
color. Set aside.

Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in large stockpot or kettle large
enough to hold all ingredients. Bring to a boil, being certain 
sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Add all vegetables,
including canned onions and gerkhins.
Bring back to boil, then reduce heat and keep at a simmer. Place 
in hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space, and process 
in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes at an altitude up to
1,000 feet, 15 minutes at 1,000 to 6,000 feet. (Processing times 
are based on guidelines provided by the USDA National Food Safety 
Database.)

Note: Recipe can be made in smaller amounts and kept in the
refrigerator for several months

1 1/2 tsp. turmeric
A pinch (hot) pepper flakes

Chop or grate onions, cabbage, tomatoes, green and red bell
peppers, by what ever method is easiest for you, until fairly 
fine.

"This is my mother's (deceased since 1993) recipe for Chow-chow,
a type of relish. She was a native of Bristol England,
transplanted to Chapel-Hill, and later Asheville, North Carolina.
This is a good recipe for summer, to use up that excess garden
produce. She would make about 50 pint jars of this each year,
and it would always be gone by Jan. or Feb. at the latest.
Adjust the red (Hot) pepper flakes to your taste.
We used it on pinto beans cooked with a ham bone,
on hamburgers and hot-dogs, and in deviled eggs."

Subject: Re: posting on July 17, 2001
 

    Hi, Willie:  Well, you done it again - another wonderful
posting.  I really enjoyed it (as usual).  How do you keep your
standards up so high?

I enjoyed reading the Mexican recipes and perhaps by the next 
time, I can submit a bunch.  I do have one quick recipe that has 
always been well received.  This is another one of those that you 
do by pinch and taste, etc.
 

TACO CASSEROLE:
Ingredients:
a can of a good chili, with or without beans,  heated to boiling,
1 package of Fritoes
chopped onions
chopped olives
grated cheddar cheese

If you want to make your own chili, do so and add one can of
drained pinto or red or black beans.  Be sure chili is "soupy". 
In a greased casserole dish, place a layer of crushed Fritoes 
(you can use any corn chips you desire but original recipe called
for Fritoes and I do like them best - but watch out for salt.  Do
not salt until after tasting).  Pour about half of the chili/bean 
mixture over the Fritoes.  Sprinkle chopped onions and you can add
chopped ripe olives, if desired but do use onions.
Sprinkle shredded or grated Cheddar cheese, repeat layers, ending
up with Cheddar cheese.  This is best if you let it sit for at 
least an hour or so before baking in 350 degree oven until 
bubbling and cheese is melted.  I usually add some comino powder 
and chili powder to my chili mixture.  Cominos (not seeds -
they are too chewy!) or Cumin has a chili flavor but no heat 
like some of the chili powders.
Try it, you'll like it.  Anyway, this is practically foolproof
and everyone that likes Mexican food seems to like it.

ONE MORE SUGGESTION ABOUT FRIED CHICKEN:
I cook my chicken in hot grease as fast as possible, browning 
both sides, do not even try to get done in the middle.  Remove 
from skillet and place on a baking pan in a hot oven, 450 degrees
for 20-30 minutes depending on size of chicken pieces. This
cooks it completely in the middle, lets most of the grease drain
away - best if put on a rack, if you have one.  This works out 
well if you have lots of chicken to fry since you don't have to 
spend literally hours frying, trying to get it done in the middle.
There is nothing worse than "pink, bloody" chicken, is there?  Oh,
yes, I sometimes dip my chicken in buttermilk or beaten egg or 
nothing and then in flour before frying.  Lots of people swear by 
season salt and pepper.

Speaking of chicken, I have another recipe that is really good.
I buy chicken breasts when they are on sale - the ones with 
bones, skin, etc.  I then remove the large muscle mass from the
bones, be sure and keep in one piece.  Save the skin and fat 
(put it in the oven to render out the chicken fat - give the 
crispy skin to my two spoiled dogs, save fat for frying, etc.),
boil the bones with meat on them with the old standbys: celery, 
onion, garlic, carrots, bell pepper, salt, pepper until done. 
Pick off meat, use for enchiladas, chicken salad, etc. 
Chicken broth is left. And everyone has lots of uses for chicken 
broth, don't they?

Next take the raw chicken breasts, using a sharp knife, make a
slit in one side from almost top to bottom and not quite thru 
the back side (make a nice slot in it).  Then take ham (I buy 
the small packages of ham sandwich meat - the 2.5 oz packages, 
eg.), cut the ham slices into pieces that fit in the slot in the 
meat, place the ham and a slice of both Cheddar and Monterrey 
cheese - don't have to use both but I like the slight
difference in the flavor.  In other words, in the chicken slot 
you will have 2-3 thin slices of ham, 2 slices of cheese.  You 
can close with toothpick but not really necessary.  Next I mix 
half plain  yogurt and sour cream.  Roll chicken "bundles" in 
flour, shaking off excess, then in sour cream/yogurt mixture and 
then in crushed corn flakes.  Ooh, this is so messy at this point. 
Chill bundles in refrigerator.

When ready to cook, I saute the bundles briefly on each side in 
a small amount of oil/butter, place on baking sheet and bake in 
a 350 degree oven until done (juices run clear).  This doesn't 
take long since chicken cooks so fast.  This also freezes well,
too.  I serve these with rice, peas, dinner salad and set back 
and receive the compliments.  I think you will also.

large of pieces, 12 onions chopped, 10 to 12 carrots
sliced, 2 heads cauliflower separated into floret's,after 
cooking each vegetable to a crisp/tender softness place all

1 pint salad mustard, 2 Tbsp. turmeric,and 1/2 pk. pickling 
spice tied in cheesecloth.  Add 4 to 6 cups sugar, salt and 
pepper to taste and 1 cup water.  Bring to a boil and pour

STIR OFTEN AND DON'T LET IT BURN!!  Put into jars and seal. 
Some people add celery seed and green tomatoes cut into chunks. 
Some people do not add the salad mustard.  This is a lot of 
work, but worth the effort.  Good eating!

Speaking of Chow Chow...
My aunt makes this all the time.  As much as I believe you should
respect your parents Mom and I use to have a battle to see who 
got the last bite esp if you had some great homemade bread to put
it on.

This recipe that I use is Mennonite in origin because my aunt will
NOT hand over hers.  It is just as good as the Chow Chow for 
cleaning up the garden and soooo good.

Sandwich Spread

3 qts green tomatoes
1 qt peppers
1 pt sweet pickles
1 qt vinegar
1 pt onions
1 stalk celery
6 tbs flour

Salt tomatoes, peppers and onions, let stand overnight. Boil all
the veggies together with vinegar and sugar for 25 minutes

When cooked add the flour. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Add one quart mayo and a small jar of mustard. Keep hot when 
canning. Put in jars and seal.

If the meats you are using are "smoked" they are not good for your
high blood pressure.  I have high blood pressure but I still cook 
with ham hocks.  I do not eat the skin, only the ham portion and 
don't overdo that. Cut back on how many ham hocks you use.  Also, 
the main secret is to cut back on fats, alcohol, and sweets.  Eat 
lots of fruits and veggies, drink lots of water and walking is 
good.  I try to do things in moderation and it helps a lot.  I 
don't ever see myself cooking greens without smoked meat!!
Have fun.
