tomatoes, this chow chow is a spicy and hot accompaniment to
beans and peas.

2 sweet green peppers, chopped
2 large mild onions, chopped
1 small head cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup salt
3 cups vinegar
2-1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard

a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for one hour. Stir frequently.
