Chow-Chow (Recipe is for one gallon)

The recipe is for one gallon pickle; for more, the quantities must be increased, of course. The ingredients consist of: 1/4 peck green tomatoes. 1 large head of cabbage. 6 large onions. 1 dozen cucumbers. 1/2 pint grated horseradish. 1/2 pound white mustard-seed. 1/2 ounce celery-seed. A few small onions. 1/4 teacup ground pepper. Turmeric, ground cinnamon. A little brown sugar.

Cut the cabbage, onions and cucumbers into small pieces, and pack them down in salt one night; then put in vinegar, poured over hot. Do this three mornings. The third morning, mix one box ground mustard with one-quarter pint salad oil. To be mixed in while warm.--Mrs. O. B.
