Sound great for Easter, but do you seal the jag with a lid, glass jar or a plastic jar? Do you let it set out at room temperature or do you refrigerate it? What do you do with the beet and the rest of the onion?

my mother was always a phenomenal cook .. but never let me on to her secrets. upon her passing at my age of 24, i was left to figure out her magic on my own. between recipezaar and foodnetwork, i'm getting the hang of it ... very thankfully.   while i like to bake very much [as it's what i'm best at] .. i most enjoy trying anything new and different. i'll eat anything .. ANYTHING .. so long as it tastes and smells delicious.
