Can't wait to eat them! Worked a treat. Pickling spice I made my own with cinnamon quills/bay leaves/mustard seeds/all spice/ginger powder/smoky peppercorns. All increased the sugar with some extra brown sugar for a more caramel flavour profile. Was unsure on how you "seal" the bottles without hot jars/lids & mixture (to preserve them for a while) so I put them in canning bath for a few minutes to make sure the jars & lids ended up hot enough.

There is only just enough vinegar mixture for the amount of onions. 1 litre of vinegar plus 1/2c sugar will give you just over 1 litre of pickling mixture.

Nice and easy tasty recipe but from some comments think that some are mis-reading the recipe. The water and salt combine to make a Brining Medium which is discarded after overnight soak (brining keeps the onions crisp & crunchy). The vinegar, sugar and pickling spice combine to make the pickling medium. If you don't want to make your own Pickling medium Tastemaker Foods in Christchurch sell a pre-made pickling vinegar online.
Put the onions, salt and water in a large bowl. Cover and stand overnight.
Next day, drain the onions and rinse well under cold running water. Pack them into 500 ml sterilised jars.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a large saucepan. Stir over a medium heat as you bring the mixture to the boil. Then turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool. Strain the cold vinegar mixture over the onions to cover completely, and seal the jars.
Tip You can customise pickled onions by adding sprigs or herbs, chillies, garlic, cloves or different spices to subtlely change the flavour.
