I first decided to make this back in 2012. We love it to this day and everyone "gobbles" it up! I love that you can chose your vegetables and go from there. Some call this 'chow chow' but, I stick to the name Ball gives it: "Hot Pickle Mix" because the horseradish gives everything in the jar a nice little "bite" ~Enjoy! Diane
