Steps:
- Sterilize your jars and get your hot water canner set up.
- Cook each vegetable separately in a small amount of lightly salted water over medium heat until tender crisp. (Do not cook canned beans or gherkins, if using)
- Remove each when done from boiling water with slotted spoon and plunge into ice water bath to stop cooking. (A large bowl of ice water) Drain in colander. Layer each cooled, drained vegetable into a large bowl, then add the rinsed, drained beans; toss the layers gently with hands or wooden spoon to blend. Drain any additional water from the vegetables that accumulated in the bottom of the bowl.
- In large stockpot or kettle, bring pickling syrup ingredients to boil, stirring especially at first to dissolve sugar. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, if using. (I often skip it). Carefully add the mixture of vegetables to the boiling liquid. Return to boil and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Ladle the vegetables into sterilized pint or quart jars, add liquid, filling each jar with the chow chow to within 1/2 inch of top. Seal each jar with new canning lid insert and ring.
- Process in hot water bath 5 minutes for 1,000 foot altitude or less for pints, 10 minutes for quarts. Add 5 minutes if 1.001 to 6,000 feet in altitude. Over 6,000 feet, add additional 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove jars from water, sit upright on towel-lined counter. Check seals as the jars cool. The inner part of the lid will often "pop" as it depresses as the contents cool. If any failed to seal, store these in the refrigerator and keep refrigerated, use up fairly soon.

CHOW CHOW PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH
The Pennsylvania Dutch are famous for their pickles, relishes and condiments, often served as part of the traditional 'sweets and sours' with a large meal. Chow-Chow, in my recollection, has always been one of the favorites. It is made up of a variety of vegetables that are in season near the end of the summer. I remember a church in Dryville, PA, used to make batches of chow-chow to sell for a fund-raiser. This is my grandmother's recipe. It is, without a doubt, the best chow-chow I have ever eaten. I have only tasted one store-bought variety that came close, and it was purchased at a farmers' market in Asheville, NC. The difference is primarily in the combination and size of the vegetables. In this recipe, the vegetables are cut into small pieces whereas, in most other varieties, they are processed or shredded. It takes some effort, but will reap the rewards for months. ................................................................................................................. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, this article is about the relish. Chow-chow (chowchow, chow chow) is a Nova Scotian and American pickled relish made from a combination of vegetables. Mainly green tomato, cabbage, chayote, red tomatoes, onions, carrots, beans, asparagus, cauliflower and peas are used. These ingredients are pickled in a canning jar and served cold. Chow-chow is regionally associated with the Southern United States, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, the Appalachian Mountains, and soul food. The recipes vary greatly; some varieties are sweeter than others. Chow-chow found its way to the Southern United States during the expulsion of the Acadian people from Nova Scotia and their settlement in Louisiana. It is eaten by itself or as a condiment on fish cakes, mashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy, pinto beans, hot dogs, hamburgers and other foods. The term "chow-chow" is reportedly based on the French word chou for cabbage. Food historian Luis W. Fernandez claims a connection with Chinese cuisine as an origin. A further possible source of the name is the ingredient chayote, which is itself known as chow chow in India.

DEB'S BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES
This pickle recipe was handed down to me. I have been making these for at least 20 years from cucumbers my Dad grows in his garden. I give them to friends and family and have trouble keeping up with the orders. The recipe is the star here as these are the best bread and butter pickles I've ever found. These don't need to be refrigerated until you open a jar.

Steps:
- Stir 2 quarts water and salt in a large pot until salt is dissolved. Submerge cucumbers in the water. Add ice to the water to keep cold. Let cucumbers soak for 2 hours.
- Drain salt water from pot. Rinse and drain cucumber slices twice.
- Stir sugar, 4 cups water, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, mustard seed, and celery seed together in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; add cucumber slices. Simmer until the cucumbers are completely hot, but do not bring to a boil, about 10 minutes.
- Sterilize canning jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the cucumbers into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Let cucumbers pickle 2 weeks before eating, shaking each jar once daily.
