    My cooking can’t hold a candle to all of you, so I guess I’d go with a simple, classic chocolate mousse with a little whipped cream and crushed peppermint candy for the holidays. Great collection of recipes.

    I’m going to try and can this, looks like it would be a great recipe to can. Though I’ll probably change out the lemon juice for ACV. Thanks!

      You will have to let me know how it goes. I have found that the longer it sits the stronger the red onion taste gets, so I’m not sure about canning it…..unless, of course, you love red onion. 😉
