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?

Strain the mixture? Could someone explain this to me? After straining what do you do with whatever you strained???

You strain out the pickling spice. It has lots of different spices in it like juniper berries and bay leaves.
