Description

A simple way to prepare food for storage ahead of time. Cut the vegetables and chop the tomatoes. Cook everything with spices, vinegar, and oil for 20 minutes. Seal in sterile jars and turn them upside down until cool, then store in a cool place. Jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
