Water bath canning first attempt

Yesterday I made my first attempt at water bath canning. 3 pounds of red onions turned into eight 1/2 pints and all of them made the magical *ping* sound. Now to wait a week and see how they turn out after the flavors develop a bit.

I'm excited to add them to a ton of things, especially the tacos I've been making. Recently I started making fresh tortillas directly from masa and the urge to build more of the ingredients for tacos from scratch has grown.

Happy to help troubleshoot. Did you preserve in vinegar?

I should have mentioned pickled in that post! Done in vinegar with a small amount of pickling spices and garlic in the brine that I removed before canning. I don't think I'll need troubleshooting yet, but I'll try to remember to update this when I crack open the first jar.

You won't be disappointed later. The number one reason why seals fail is a failure to wipe rims after filling them. I've never had one fail on me over years of doing this.
