Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a saucepan combine the vinegar, salt, sugar, bay leaf and cloves and bring to a gentle boil over medium high heat until the sugar is dissolved. 
  • Add the onion, stir, and remove the from the heat.  Let them cool to room temperature.
  • Spoon into a jar and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

These will keep for 3-4 weeks in the fridge and then they tend to lose their crunchy texture. 
You can omit the bay leaves or cloves if you wish.  
You can also add a hot pepper to make them a little spicier.
