Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 lb Tiny yellow onions (up to 1"
- in diameter)
1 ga Water -- cool
1/4 c Salt
2 tb Crushed red pepper
2 ts Sweet basil
6 sm Bay leaves
1 qt Distilled white vinegar
1 c Water
2 tb Liquid crab boil
2 dr Red food coloring (optional)
Peel the onions and place in a glass or plastic container - not
metal! Mix the water and salt, pour over the onions, and let soak
overnight. The next day, take clean canning jars and sprinkle some
of the red pepper, basil, and one bay leaf on the bottom. Pack the
onions to the 1/3 level, then repeat in layers until full. When all
jars are packed, mix the vinegar, water, crab boil, and food
coloring (if desired) and pour over onions. Cap the jars and
refrigerate for at least one week before using. If you increase the
amount your're making, just maintain a 3:1 ration vinegar to water.
Fantastic with red beans and rice!
