Glorified Vidalia Onions
This is a recipe that caterers would love to keep a secret. It was presented to me by a famous Savannah hostess, when I first moved here. At the time I did not know the first thing about Vidalia onions. I soon learned.
5 to 6 medium sweet onions
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon celery seed
Finely chop or grate onions. (I use the fine grater in the processor)
Soak onions in the water, sugar, and vinegar for 4 hours,
Drain well. Pat dry. (I squeeze them in a towel.)
Mix onions with mayonnaise and celery seed.
Serve with buttery crackers.
