Put 3 kg. pickling onions and 1 kg salt into a plastic bowl, cover with water. Turn regularly for 3 days. Peel (no tears!) and scald 3 times with boiling water, draining each time. Boil about 1&1/2 litres of spiced vinegar. Put onions into jars and pour boiling vinegar over. Place a spoon into jars to stop glass cracking.
Allow to cool before sealing. Ready for use in 7 days.
