Green Tomato Chow Chow Recipe:
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds green tomatoes (about 8-10 tomatoes)
1 pound green cabbage (1/2 head)
1 medium green bell pepper
1 medium red pepper
1/2 large white onion
1 1/2 tablespoon of light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt 
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
Black Pepper to taste
1-2 cups water
2 tablespoons distilled white or cider vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS:
-Finely chop tomatoes, cabbage, peppers and onion and place in medium size pot. 
-Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cook uncovered until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-Ladle into quart glass jars using a wide mouth funnel for best results.
-Store in refrigerator or process in a water bath canner.

"At some point in your area’s growing season, those tomatoes will stop turning red and stubbornly stick to a tart green. If that happens, don’t despair! Here's a great Chow Chow recipe to use up that last harvest of tomatoes." ~ P. Allen Smith
