Method

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.

Makes approximately 3 litres of pickled onions.
