Here is one my aunt makes
CHOW-CHOW

1 quart chopped cabbage
1 quart chopped green tomatoes
2 sweet red peppers, chopped
2 sweet green peppers, chopped
2 large onions, chopped ¼ cup salt
1½ cups vinegar, 5% acidity
1½ cups water
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon each dry mustard, turmeric, celery seed

Mix chopped vegetables with salt and let stand overnight. Next morning, line a colander with cheesecloth, pour vegetable mixture into colander, let drain, then bring edges of cheesecloth up over mixture and squeeze until all liquid possible is removed. Boil vinegar, water, sugar, and spices five minutes. Add vegetable mixture. Bring to a boil. Pour into sterilized jars to within a half inch of top. Put on cap. Process in boiling water bath five minutes. Yield: six pints.

I have never seen a pickle style recipe that uses brown sugar. Cool! I am going to save this and try it this summer. Thank you!

Maybe once I get this cough kicked and it is too hot to be outside - I will try some canning again

We are having a garage sale this weekend to get rid of everything we brought back from the lake property and I moved 6 dozen canning jars from the garage sale stuff into a shed. No sense buying any more when I have plenty in storage.

Kass - Since you took the time to post 4 adorable pics (did he take those?) I wonder is it just your hubby who falls for the sappy eyes of strays?

No clue on breed though. Heinz 57?
