Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large kettle ¼ full of salted water to a boil. Add the string beans, cauliflower, corn and fresh limas (if using frozen limas, do not add yet) and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and plunge the vegetables into cold water to stop the cooking. When cool, drain again and set aside.
- Step 2
Return kettle to the stove and add the vinegar, sugar, salt, dry mustard, celery seeds, mustard seeds and turmeric. Bring just to a boil. Add the tomatoes, red and green bell peppers and onions. (If you are using frozen limas, add them now.) Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cooled vegetables to the pot and cook another 10 minutes.
- Step 3
Have ready 8 hot, sterilized pint (2-cup) canning jars and lids. (See pickled peppers for sterilizing instructions.) Pour chowchow into the jars, leaving about ¼inch of space below the lip. Wipe rims with a clean, damp towel and screw lids on securely but not too tightly.
- Step 4
Fill a large kettle fitted with a rack halfway with water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, bring a teapot full of water to a boil. Place the filled jars on the rack (do not let them touch -- work in batches if necessary) and pour in boiling water from the teapot until jar tops are covered by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and boil 10 minutes.
- Step 5
Using tongs, remove jars from kettle. Using potholders, tighten lids. Allow to cool. Store in a cool, dark place.
