Oh, I can see that. It would be good added to a plain deviled egg, wouldn't it?

Wow, that is a lot of work! I made a little under four cups of blackcurrant jelly today, and I thought that was a major undertaking. (I cheated and used freezer jars instead of canning properly, because between our household and friends', it won't last long enough to go bad.)

I was able to do it in steps (did all the chopping took a lunch break, then continued). But yeah, it's a lot of tedious work. By the end I was dripping sweat.

However, it's the very best thing to go on a BBQ'd burger or hot dog, and I have enough for Christmas presents AND to last at least a year.

It looks marvelous, but I'm allergic to the capsicum family. I wonder if there is a similar relish that doesn't have the peppers in it? Hmm, I think there is some searching in my future to see what I can find. The hubs don't like sauerkraut, so I need a different angle...

I have time, it won't be this year I can anything.

I Googled chow-chow (which will bring up dogs unless you specify recipes) and there are many, many variations, so it's quite possible you could find something without peppers. This is not at all (to me) like sauerkraut, more like sweet-sour cabbage.

Oh, that's great. I know nothing about chow-chow, except it sounds interesting. And I wasn't calling chow-chow sauerkraut, that's the only other thing that I know of for canning cabbage.
