Ingredients:
750g pickling onions
350g light brown sugar
500ml cider, malt or white vinegar
1 tbsp mustard seed
½ cinnamon stick
½ cup of water
Pinch salt
Sweet Pickled Onions
Preparation Method:
Put the onions into a large bowl and pour over enough water to just cover all of them. Cook for one minute on high flame.
Drain the onions and peel away all the brown skins. Rinse the peeled onions in the cold water.
Take a large pan and put the sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, cinnamon, water, and salt and cook uncovered on high flame for 5 minutes, keep stirring after each minute. Continue stirring until sugar has completely dissolved.
Strain the vinegar through a nylon sieve into a large bowl to discard mustard seeds and cinnamon sticks.
Now, place the onions into clean and sterilized jars, keeping some space to prevent them from rising when the vinegar is poured over.
Pour the vinegar over the onions in the jars.
Arrange the jars on a microwave-proof baking sheet and cook on high for 5 minutes before covering and sealing in the usual way.
