And look at all that great color folks, green, red, white and a touch of orange...
Sounds like a nice little Christmas gift. Just sayin'.
Tip: The veggies will cook down and shrink, don't think you have too much. You really want to pack your jars so the veggies don't float. I also removed the seeds and membranes from my jalapenos, I'm going to try leaving them in for the next batch.
