Pickled Red Onions

Another food post! This past Saturday I made 10 pint jars of pickled red onions. If you like onions, I definitely recommend making these sometime. They are fantastic on salads. I use a recipe from the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving, but it's so simple you barely need a recipe at all! All you need is red onions, red wine vinegar, a few cloves of garlic, and some basic canning equipment. I didn't bother to document all the steps this time, since I already did that the last time I made these.

Strawberry Jam!

Some friends and I spent a few hours on Sunday making about 30 pints of strawberry jam...this was my first experience with making preserves and I must say the jam is delicious. Yum!
