Homemade Things I Want to Try

Jars of …

I love making my own things (or at least trying) when I know it is possible. This post is a few things that I want to try to make myself and they all pretty much include jarring food.

I love bread and butter pickles on sandwiches or just by themselves. I haven’t looked up any directions on making your own bread and butter pickles but I like the idea of making a batch, then jarring them and saving some for later.

Similar to the pickles, I think I would like to make a few different salsas then jarring them and saving them for later use. We also go through a lot of salsa so making large batches would be a good idea. We love eating chips and salsa. I have been thinking about a few different salsas that I might try to create: hot tomato, green tomato, mango, and a corn salsa

Another interesting recipe I came across recently was for some sweet and spicy nuts. This would be a nice little snack to eat at work and at home and put out for any guests. I might look into making a batch of nuts and storing them much like a squirrel would do before winter.

Also close to a jar of something is a bottle of something. I have in the past tried to make a few types of sauces and I would like to make a bottle or two of some homemade BBQ sauce.

As I get to making these things I will update with pictures, recipes, and reviews on how they all turn out.
