A Recipe or Two!

I've spent the past couple of days making things to freeze and put away of okra and cucumbers.

In a skillet, I sauteed bacon, onion, and green pepper. I added chopped okra to the pan. I then added a can of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes.


It's ready for gumbo in the winter!!


I made my Grandmother's Chow Chow.

It calls for 1 large sliced green pepper but I used banana peppers.

7 cups of sliced cucumbers


1 cup of sliced onion


2 tbs of canning salt
1 tsp of celery seed
1 cup of canning vinegar
1 1/2 cups of sugar
Stir all ingredients together and put into a jar. Keep in the refrigerator. This will last up to about 2 weeks in the frig.
YUMMY!!

  3. Found your blog today through a bunch of others. What does the chow chow taste like? It looks like a great way to get rid of some of the garden abundance.
