Combine ingredients: In a large pot, combine the chopped cabbage, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, hot peppers, sugar, vinegar, and salt.
Bring to a boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat and simmer: Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the desired tenderness is achieved.
Canning: If canning, ladle the chow chow into sterilized pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace. Seal the jars and process in a water bath for 20 minutes.
Serving: If not canning, store the chow chow in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve as desired.
Enjoy!
Note: For a milder chow chow, reduce the number of hot peppers or omit them altogether.
