Ingredients

• ✓ black peppercorn
• celery seed
• mustard seed
• allspice berry
• green onion
• water
• white vinegar
• kosher salt

Instructions

1. 1 Inspect 4 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until ready to use. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water. Alternatively, sterilize jars in the dishwasher.
2. 2 Combine peppercorns, celery seeds, mustard seeds, and allspice berries in a small bowl; divide evenly among the prepared canning jars.
3. 3 Pack onions vertically into jars, alternating tips-up and tips-down to snugly fit.
4. 4 Bring water, vinegar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Pour hot liquid into jars over onions, leaving ½-inch headspace at the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after filling to remove air bubbles. Wipe the rims of jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw-on rings.
5. 5 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 15 minutes.
6. 6 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 6 to 12 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down.
7. 7 Store in a cool, dark place, undisturbed, for at least 4 weeks before serving.

1. 1 Clean and trim ramps. Place the ramps in a 12-inch skillet. Add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss with tongs to fully coat. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ramps until the stems and leaves are gently wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and toss to combine. Remove from heat.
2. 2 Meanwhile, inspect two 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until ramps are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
3. 3 Using the tongs, transfer to the two sterile glass jars with sealable lids. Tuck the leaves and stems into the jars with a table knife or spoon. Divide the remaining olive oil between the jars, followed by peppercorns and salt. Set aside.
4. 4 Place vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Whisk well. Simmer over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour over the ramps to cover. Let cool to room temperature. Seal and place in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
