Mrs. Wheelbarrow'S Pickled Green Onions - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 1-pint canning jars with lids and rings
    1 teaspoon black peppercorns
    1 teaspoon celery seed
    1 teaspoon yellow mustard seed
    4 whole allspice berries
    2 1/2 pounds green onions, trimmed and cut into 3-inch lengths
    3 cups water
    3 cups white vinegar
    1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
Preparation
    Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
    Stir peppercorns, celery seed, mustard seed, and allspice berries together in a small bowl. Divide spices evenly between the prepared canning jars.
    Pack onions vertically into jars, alternating tips-up and tips-down to fit onions snugly.
    Bring water, vinegar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Pour hot liquid over onions into jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
    Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
    Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area. Let onions pickle for at least 1 month before eating.
