Have you tried to eat it? I wonder it the flavor is any good?

I would like to play with the recipe a bit to get some onion and fresh Basil into recipe. Looks good though.

thanks,

Dean,

I have not tried this yet. The Ball recipes I have made have all been very good, so I thought I would post this one. I don't know if using fresh onion and basil will change the acid ratio if you are canning the recipe. Seems like there is plenty of vinegar in there but I'm kind of a chicken that way for changing canning recipes.
