SOUTHERN SWEET CHOW-CHOW RELISH RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Add vegetables to vinegar-sugar-spice mixture and simmer another 10 minutes. Bring to a boil. Then pack, boiling hot, into clean, heated canning jars, leaving only a 1/8 inch head space. Place canning lids and rings on jars and tighten. I usually turn the jars upside down so that all the heat is on the seals. I don't turn them back upright until the jars are completely cool. This recipe doesn't have to sit before it's ready to eat. After it cools, you can start tasting it. You won't be able to tell where the cabbage starts and the onions end. The flavors blend together perfectly.
