    Refrigerator Onion-Ring Pickles

    Source of Recipe


    Adapted from "Fancy Pantry" by Helen Witty


    List of Ingredients


    • 1-1/2 pounds medium-size sweet onions (about 3)
    • 18 whole cloves
    • 18 black peppercorns
    • 3 tsp mustard seeds
    • 1-1/2 tsp celery seeds
    • 2 cups distilled white vinegar or cider vinegar
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tsp salt
    • 1-1/2 tsp ground turmeric
    • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon


    Instructions


    1. Slice onions 1/4-inch thick; separate into rings. Divide the onion rings among three clean 1-pint canning jars. To the onions in each jar, add 6 whole cloves, 6 peppercorns, 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, and 1 teaspoon celery seeds.

    2. In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, turmeric and cinnamon; heat to boiling, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes.

    3. Cover the onion rings in jars with hot liquid. Refrigerate. Flavor improves as they pickle. For best quality, use within 3 months.

      Makes about 3 pints.
