Have you tasted chowchow?
Oh my goodness, this is good stuff! You might have heard it called corn relish around your neck of the woods. Either way, it is just nummy.
You can play around with the amounts to suit your taste, or add/delete veggies as you wish. I do not go for carrots, so replace that with celery (which works great), and I always reduce the sugar amount. Again, some really like it sweet, but I have never been a sweet vegetable person, so my sugar input is reduced, however many really disagree with that, so if this is your first batch, keep all the sugar.
