Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower the jar into the pot using a holder. If processing more than 1 jar, leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Add more boiling water if necessary, until the top of the jar is covered by 2 inches water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minutes.

Remove the jar from the pot and place on cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of the lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (the lid doesn't move up or down at all). Can be stored for up to 1 year.

Vegetarian Mexican Breakfast Casserole
This is my vegetarian version of a Mexican breakfast casserole based on items I usually have in my fridge. Since I rarely keep cream or half-and-half, I decided to try cream cheese and was pleased with how it worked out. I think this recipe would lend itself well to different vegetables or adding meat.
Baked Celery Root Fries
Oven-roasted celeriac sticks are a lovely accompaniment to your main dish or even alone, just for a snack. The light celery flavor goes well with a spicy homemade ketchup. I tried two different methods to achieve the crispiest fries, and this was the one that I preferred. I served it with homemade harissa ketchup.
