Ingredients

The following ingredients have 500 Servings
  • 300ml cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp golden caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp sea salt flakes
  • 6 black peppercorns
  • 6 coriander seeds
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 small red onions, sliced into rings

Instruction

  • Pour the vinegar into a pan, add the sugar, sea salt, the spices and bay leaf, and bring to a simmer. After 1 min, check that the sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove from the heat.
  • Boil the kettle. Put the onion slices in a sieve or colander. Pour over the hot water from the kettle and drain well. When cool enough to handle, pack the onion rings into a 500g sterilised jar (see tip below). Pour over the warm vinegar and seal. Cool, then chill and leave to pickle for 2 hrs. Will keep for 6 months unopened, or 2 weeks in the fridge once opened.
