Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb Red onions
Water -- boiling
1 c Mild vinegar (rice, white wine)
1 c Water -- cold
1 tb Pickling spice
1 ts Sugar
1 cl Garlic -- sliced
Peel the onion and slice into thin rounds. Separate the rounds and
put them in a colander large enough to hold them comfortably. Put the
colander in the sink.
Bring about 1 qt water to a boil, and pour it over the onions,
letting it drip right through the colander. Transfer the onions to a
bowl and add the vinegar, cold water, spices, sugar, and garlic. If
the onions aren't coverend by the liquid, add more as necessary,
using equal parts water and vinegar. Cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate until cool, and the color is diffused, about 30 minutes.
Keep in the liquid, refrigerated, and use as needed.
