Pickling Onions
Dear Aunt Daisy, I would be very much obliged if you would send me that recipe for pickling onions without spices-just salt, sugar, and vinegar, and boil the onions for a few minutes. I have lost the slip of paper with the recipe on and I forget the quantities. I believe one of our Links sent
it in to you about 2 years ago, We would rather have this way of pickling onions than any other now. I’m not.a member of the "Daisy Chain," but I listen quite regularly to your Morning Session, and put down most of your ideas in a little notebook.--B.K., Hamilton East. Indeed you are a member, or Link, in the Daisy Chain, because you listen to the Session-which is all that is necessary to make you one. Here is the recipe: Peel and wipe 6lb. onions. Put ‘half a gallon of vinegar into a saucepan, with a piece of salt the size of a duck egg and 1lb. white sugar, Bring this to the boil; and while boiling, put in the onions. Stir carefully for 5 minutes, then bottle. No spices are used; and the onions stay nice and light.
