Ingredients
- Yellow Onions - 4 Large ( thinly sliced )
- Red Bell Pepper - 1 Large ( chopped )
- White Vinegar - 1 1/2 Cups
- Hot Water - 1 Cup
- Sugar of choice - 3 Tbsp
- Pickling Spice - 1 Tbsp
- Bay Leaves - 2-3 Pieces
- Sea Salt - 1/2 Tsp
- Cheese Cloth with string - 1 piece
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan add onions, red peppers, vinegar, sea salt, sugar, pickling spice in cheese cloth, and water then bring to a boil on medium to high heat for 20 minutes or until tender.
2. Remove from heat have your mason jars cleaned and ready to use.
3. Start filling your mason jars cleaning the tops to remove any sauce then place lids and rims on and tighten each one. You can boil mason jars in hot water for 5 minutes if your onion pickles wasn't hot enough when bottled to seal lids.
4. Let onion pickles go to room temperature then check each lid to see if they are sealed, if so store in cool storage, if not store in fridge until all eaten.
5. Serve with burgers, Jiggs dinner or boiled dinner, sandwiches or whatever you like.
Please note:
If your pickled onions is not hot when you are ready to bottle them you must boil them after you put the lids on then put them in a water bath for five minutes. Water bath is when you bring a boiler of water to a boil and place all mason jars in the bath and cover for five minutes so they seal properly.
