Elevate cheese platters and sandwiches with tangy homemade pickled onions.

Ingredients:

30.00 gm salt
1kg small pickling onions
12 birdseye red chillies
4 bay leaves
20.00 ml peppercorns
1000.00 ml white vinegar
112.50 gm white sugar
20.00 ml pickling spice

Instructions:

In a large glass bowl, dissolve salt in 4 cups of water by stirring. Peel onions, leaving them whole, and add them to the salted water. Cover and let sit at room temperature overnight.
After draining onions, give them a refreshing rinse under cold water. Then, carefully assemble them into 4 sterilised jars, alternating layers with chillies, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
In a saucepan over low heat, combine vinegar, sugar, and pickling spice. Stir and cook for 15 minutes until sugar dissolves. Increase heat, bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until the syrup slightly thickens. Let it cool, strain, and pour over onions in jars, ensuring they are fully covered. Seal jars and let sit for 3 weeks before enjoying.
Arrange the caramelized onions on a platter alongside slices of chilled ham, assorted cheeses, and a selection of crackers or fresh bread.
