My dad lives in the state of WVa, and every year, he loves to grow a hugh garden, and then make tons of recipes out of his garden vegetables and then can them in his canning kitchen. Many of his canning recipes are his own creation. This recipe is his most favorite, and he is always telling me that he has to make this recipe...

Let cool in draft-free area (cover with towels to be sure). Let sit for 24 hours to cool down before storing. Check lids to be sure they are sealed. (Press center of lid with your finger. If it moves and makes a "click", the jar is not sealed.)
