Quick Pickled Sweet Onions - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 medium onions, as strong as you can find them, cut into rings
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons salt
7 peppercorns

Preparation

Bring all ingredients except onions to a boil.
Reduce heat and gently boil for one minute.
While mixture is boiling, cram onion rings into a glass jar as tightly as you can. Don't worry if the rings break. This is not a pretty pickle.
Remove boiling mixture from stove and pour directly into the jar. Allow bubbles to rise to the surface, then refill as needed leaving 2cm headroom.
Screw lid on gently and allow to cool on counter top.
Once cooled, refrigerate for up to one month.
This is not a sterilized pickle. Do not store unrefrigerated!
