Steps:
- Place the peeled onions in a glass or ceramic bowl and cover with cold water. Drain the water into a saucepan and stir in the salt. Bring just to a boil so that the salt dissolves, then cool slightly and pour over the onions. Cover the bowl with a heavy plate so all of the onions stay submerged. Leave onions to stand for 24 hours.
- Measure the vinegar into a saucepan. Tie the pickling spice into a cloth and add to the vinegar along with the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Rinse the onions and pat them dry. Add to the saucepan with the vinegar. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Pack the onions into sterile jars and ladle the brine over them until they are covered. Add a dried chile pepper to each jar if you like. Seal with sterile lids and rings and store in a cool dark place for at least 6 weeks before opening.

EASY AND TRADITIONAL BRITISH PUB STYLE PICKLED ONIONS
I have been making these for years and years now, and I always like to have a jar handy in the pantry. They are great to munch on with cold meats, cheeses, bread and crackers, as well as being a much loved and traditional accompaniment to Ploughman's Lunch and also Fish and Chips. You will often see large jars of pickled onions in British fish and chip shops, AND on the bar in British pubs! If you start these in October, they will be ready to eat by Christmas and New year - making them an ideal addition for your cold buffet table and cheese boards. Please note, this is an easy and therefore a NON BRINING method; they will last for about 6 to 9 months in ideal conditions, a cool and dark pantry or store cupboard. If you wish to make these in bulk to last a couple of years, you need to brine the onions first; I have added brining notes at the end of the recipe instructions. I hope you will enjoy these as much as we do!

ENGLISH PUB-STYLE PICKLED ONIONS
This pickle is made the traditional way, with a short brining to keep the onions crisp, and with cool rather than hot vinegar. If you'd like to can the onions, though, use two one-pint or four half-pint Mason jars instead of a quart jar, and pour the spiced vinegar over the onions while the vinegar is hot. Seal the jars immediately with hot two-piece caps, and process the jars for 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath. Sharp-tasting, brown malt vinegar is available at most supermarkets. If you can't find it, or if you'd like a milder pickle, use white wine vinegar.

Steps:
- In a bowl, dissolve ¼ cup salt in 1 quart water; add the onions and weight them gently with a plate that fits inside the bowl.

- Drain the onions, and peel them; return them to the bowl.

- Let them stand 2 days.
- In a nonreactive saucepan, bring the sugar and vinegar to a boil; let the liquid cool.

- Cover them with the cooled, sweetened vinegar.
- Cover the jar with a nonreactive cap, preferably all plastic.
- Refrigerate the jar for at least 1 month before eating the onions.

Tips:
- Choose the right onions. Small pickling onions are the best choice for this recipe, as they are mild in flavor and hold their shape well. You could technically use any type of onion for pickling, but some hold up better than others. Sweet onion varieties, like Vidalia onions or Walla Walla onions, are a good choice, as they have a mild flavor that will not overpower the other ingredients. Red onions are also a good option, as they add a bit of color to the pickles.
- Use a good quality vinegar. The vinegar you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your pickles. Choose a vinegar that has a mild flavor, such as white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. You can also use a flavored vinegar, such as malt vinegar or red wine vinegar, for a more complex flavor.
- Add your desired spices. The spices you add to your pickling liquid will also affect the flavor of your pickles. Common spices used in pickled onions include mustard seeds, celery seeds, dill seeds, and peppercorns. You can also add other spices, such as garlic, ginger, or chili peppers, to taste.
- Let the pickles sit for at least 24 hours before eating. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. The longer you let the pickles sit, the more flavorful they will be.
