I grew up in Berks County PA and I can tell you this is NOT PA Dutch chow chow. It sounds like a good recipe but it's misnamed. Green and/or wax beans, kidney beans, celery and other required ingredients are missing.

I thought chowchow had corn in it and possible other end of the season vegetables. Cabbage?
