Pickled onions

You will need a 1 litre Kilner/Mason jar and enough pickling onions to fill it.

Ingredients:

290 ml + approx. 270 ml malt vinegar

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp whole allspice

1 tsp coriander seeds

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp red chilli flakes

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp fenugreek seeds

1 tsp white pepper corns

1½ cinnamon sticks

2 bay leaves

½ dl sugar

Method:

Wash and sterilize the jar for 30 mins. at 140⁰C

Fill the jar with topped and tailed pickling onions.

Let the 290 ml vinegar, together with the sugar and spices/herbs, simmer for 10 minutes.

Once the pickling liquor has cooled, pour it over the onions and top up with what's needed of the remaining malt vinegar to fill the jar to the brim.

Store in the dark, at room temperature for a minimum of three weeks.
