Pickled Red Onions
From Ball Fresh Preserver, The Country Chic Cottage
Yield: 6 – 7 half pint jars
Ingredients
- 3 pounds red onion
- 4 cups white vinegar
- 3 tbsp minced garlic
Instructions
1. Wash and preheat jars in water on stove. Wash lids and bands with warm soapy water. Set aside.
2. Peel onions and slice ¼ inch thick. Separate slices into rings. Bring vinegar and garlic to a boil in a large sauce pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add onion rings to vinegar mixture. The pot will be very full. Cover and simmer for about 7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
3. Pack hot onion mixture into hot jars tightly. Be sure onions are covered in hot pickling liquid. Leave ¼ inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles, wipe the rim, apply the lid and band, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
