Smelled like nostalgia in my house. Recipe is the last photo.

I remember my mom making this all the time growing up and the first whiff took me right back to our kitchen as a kid.

I left the sugar out of this one but it’s got a great balance of sweet and heat flavor.

    You’re putting those in the fridge, right? Only tested and safe recipes are safe for canning.
