REFLECTION QUESTIONStorageCanning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. What are some foods you would like to preserve and enjoy later?
Sandy Caster 10/06/2026 5:21 PMI pickled some peppers from my garden. These would be great in a grilled cheese sandwich or tuna salad. Next, I'd like to pickle some onions and jalapeños and add them to my burgers.
