Instructions: The Pennsylvania Dutch are famous for their pickles, relishes and condiments. Chow-Chow 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.

Cook dried beans separately, according to package directions, until tender. Rinse with cold water and drain. Set aside. Cook all other fresh vegetables separately until crisp-tender; drain and immerse immediately in ice water. This will stop cooking and help retain color. Set aside.

Combine vinegar, sugar and salt in large stockpot or kettle large enough to hold all ingredients. Bring to a boil, being certain sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Add all vegetables, including canned onions and gerkhins. Bring back to boil, then reduce heat and keep at a simmer. Place in hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space, and process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
