Onions pickled in vinegar for winter
Description
Perfect for winter pantry stocks. This kind of vinegar-marinated onion for winter is easy to make at home. How you use it is entirely up to you, since the possibilities are very broad. Some people like to eat it with bread; many like to serve it with salted fish. I often serve this onion with stewed or roasted meat. In short, there are many options—try it and find your own. Jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
