Ingredients

2 quarts day lily buds, freshly boiled and drained or 3 cups dried
3 cups white vinegar
3/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon whole allspice
2 two-inch sticks cinnamon, broken up into pieces
10 to 12 whole cloves

Instructions

Rinse and drain unopened day lily buds; clip off any stem remnants. If using dried buds, allow them to soak 30 minutes in warm water. Put buds in a saucepan; add water barely to cover. Bring quickly to a boil, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Drain.

Pack hot buds into 8 sterile half-pint canning jars.

Combine vinegar, brown sugar, salt, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves in a saucepan and bring to a boil; boil 3 minutes. Pour pickling solution over buds, distributing spices equally. Seal.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
