Red Onion Pickle
Another jar of a vegetable pickle in a bright hue, this delicious Red Onion Pickle is simple to make, and gives a tasty, bright pink treat (almost a sweet!) to liven up a salad or enhance a ploughman’s lunch!
Ingredients (fills a 1/2-litre jar):
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 large red onions
In a pot of boiling water, sterelise a clean jar with a top with a rubber coating.
In a small saucepan, combine caster sugar and apple cider vinegar. Stir in water, and bring to a slow boil over a medium flame, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Keep warm.
Peel red onions, and cut them into thin slices.
Carefully remove jar and lid from their pot of boiling water, and dry them thoroughly.
Arrange red onion slices into the jar,up to the top.
Gently pour the hot pickling liquid over the onion slices, right up to the rim, pressing on the onion slices gently, to submerge them well. Close jar tightly. Leave at room temperature, at least a few days, before eating.
Once opened, keep your Red Onion Pickle in the refrigerator.

apologies to america but crisps is definitely a better word for them than ‘chips’. from an onomatopoeia perspective, and in that there’s more of a sensation conveyed (and somehow, in a pub situation, the general sense of british woe)

I was chopping an onion for dinner just now and got to wondering. Plus I've never made a poll, so this will be fun.
* Green onions are used differently than the other kinds so I debated leaving them off the list, but I'm a completist.
"Cooking" can mean eating raw in salads, etc. Or if you don't cook, then your favorite to eat.
