Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound red onions
water -- boiling
1 cup vinegar
1 cup water -- cold
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 clove garlic -- sliced

Peel the onion and slice into thin rounds. Separate the rounds and put them in
a colander large enough to hold them comfortably. Put the colander in the
sink.

Bring about a quart of water to a boil, and pour it over the onions, letting
it drip right through the colander. Transfer the onions to a bowl and add the
vinegar, cold water, spices, sugar, and garlic. If the onions aren't coverend
by the liquid, add more as necessary, using equal parts water and vinegar.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool, and the color is diffused,
about 30 minutes. Keep in the liquid, refrigerated, and use as needed.l
