Recipe Chow Chow Amish Canning Recipes

Cook each fresh vegetable separately in a saucepan, covering with water and boiling only enough to make the vegetables tender, not mushy. Do not cook the canned or frozen vegetables. Place in layers in a large pan in whatever order you prefer. Gently mix with your hands, or a very large pierced spoon, being careful not to break the vegetables, or it may become mushy. Pour off all liquid before spooning vegetables into sterilized jars, filling within 1" of the neck. Pour in Syrup to fill jars to neck.

Syrup:
combine all ingredients in a large kettle and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. ladle the syrup over the vegetables. Seal jars with lids and covers and process in the canner for 12 minutes, timing from the moment the water comes to a full boil.
