GRANDMOTHER JOHNSON'S TOMATO CHOW-CHOW

Grandmother Johnson's Tomato Chow-Chow image

When my husband and I started dating years ago, his grandmother would send down quarts of her Chow-Chow when she found out how much I loved it. Sadly, we lost her sometime after that and the recipe was lost too....or so I thought. My DH's aunt had it! This will scorch very easy. Don't try to rush it.
