Blueberry Pie in a Jar
This is an excellent way to can blueberries for a quick and easy pie. It's virtually identical to the costly canned pie filling found in the grocery store.
Pickled White Asparagus, Cucumbers, and Peppers
These pickled white asparagus, cucumbers, and peppers are great on their own for pickle lovers, but I specifically make this to keep on hand to chop up over lettuce for a quick side salad to accompany steak. The pickling serves as a vinaigrette that slightly wilts the salad and I top with whatever shredded cheese I have on hand.
