Sorting through Mum’s recipes all last year made me take a look at my own Recipe Folders and I decided that it really was time to update them.  So over the Christmas break I sorted them and put them into new, clean folders.  It took three days of hard work, but the reward was discovering lots of old favorites and especially old recipes passed down from Mum.

These Summer Onions are one of them.  Mum loves onions and these are a version of pickled onions, the big difference is the onions you use.  Salad onions are the best as they are large and have a softer texture.  Also you don’t have to leave them weeks to mature, they can be used the next day. They are great on sandwiches and with cold meat and salads.

 As the question marks indicate, you can adjust the sugar and salt to taste and over the years I’ve also added extra spices, just whatever I have in the cupboard.  You really can’t go wrong.
