It's chow chow; just the way I grew up with it. Everyone knows that when you have lots of green tomatoes you make green tomato relish. I couldn't find my Kerr recipe book so I trolled around the internet for a recipe similar to the one that I had grown up with. It seems to me that chow chow and piccalilli were interchangeable terms. I couldn't find one that matched up to my memory so I dug around a little harder and found my Kerr canning book. According to Kerr, chow chow has no cabbage and piccalilli does. Otherwise they are pretty similar. So I whipped up a batch. By the way, a peck is two gallons.
