Chow Chow Recipes?

Hello to all, I have signed on looking for a family receipe for Chow-Chow. My Dear Father and his family passed along the receipe, I have misplaced. I remember califlower, white onions, beans perhaps in a mustard sauce. Wonder if anyone can help me. My Dads family lived in Shennandoah, Pennsylvania.

Thank You

Are you sure you're on the right forum?
You can find info about Polish food here. Chow chow is not it.

Its sort of like a relish, lots of people made it where I grew up (I have no idea the origins of it...) but people would eat it on saltine crackers or every so often, a hot dog. I've not heard of anyone making it other than in pretty rural areas. Perhaps try a search for Appalachian recipes? I'm not sure the right spelling, either.

Good luck.

Thank You for your reply. Definitely Polish receipe. Coal Mining regions of PA. There are Southern and Cajun varieties as well. Basically, all fresh vegtables cooked and put into canning jars.

Hi,

You might want to try a Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook. That is where I see most of the recipes for chow chow. They serve it in all the restaurants in the Lancaster area.
