These are my FAVOURITE!!! I love them. I could eat them every day if I was allowed. I had massive cravings for them when I was pregnant with my youngest son......And had none on hand which was inconvenient as I had to wait three weeks after bottling before I could eat them. :) Needless to say, they are fabulous. I think that my Dad got this recipe from my Nana. He likes to reserve the sauce once he has finished a jar and throw in more onions. Not sure where it originates from.....I have only seen one recipe on here that is similar.....please try. Cook time is soaking/storing time.

6 lbs pickling onions
