Chef’s secret

This recipe's acidity level means it can be canned using the boiling water technique. 

• Sterilize jars by immersing in boiling water for about 5 minutes. The lids must be new to ensure a proper seal. Soak lids in hot water before using.
• Fill jars, leaving a headspace of about 1 cm (½ in.).
• Place lids and screw bands on jars but do not over-tighten.
• Immerse jars in boiling water and boil for at least 15 minutes.
• Remove jars from water and let rest for 24 hours. The lids will be depressed and make a sudden popping noise when the seal is tight.
• The jars can be stored for one year in a dark, dry, cool place.
