What the Farm

Homesteader, author, and blogger Ashley English came over to show us how to make wassail and share a holiday toast.

one of my favorite things to make in winter is spicy onion pickle, a fiery addition to salads and cheese plates. RECIPE! in a large jar, combine 1 sliced red onion, 1 sliced jalapeño, 4 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon whole allspice or pickling spices, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice, and a pinch 'o salt. shake shake Shake to distribute the liquid and let it sit at room temp. for 6+ hours, shaking every so often. store in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. pair with pickled beets and crumbled goat cheese for a killer snack.
