I've been experimenting with pickle making for years, and Iâm still trying to create the ultimate pickle, writes Margaret Berardi of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Keep this relish-like topping on hand all summer in the fridge. Ingredients:
1 medium onion, cut into 1/8-inch slices |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided |
1/3 cup cider vinegar |
1/4 cup water |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved |
1/2 teaspoon mustard seed |
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard |
1/4 teaspoon celery seed |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, toss onion with 1 teaspoon salt; let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, mustard seed, mustard, celery seed and remaining salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Stir in onion; simmer 3 minutes longer or until onion is heated through, stirring often.
3. Transfer to a serving dish. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 1 cup.
