Another bowl of potato soup, yes! In this variation, grated carrots, a pleasant and healthy addition, are combined with a lot of bacon.

I subbed maple syrup for the sugar. These stole the show- I want them on everything now.
I re-use the pickling liquid from one batch to another, adding fresh onion and topping off with more vinegar/water. I used honey as the sweetener.
I love it. Very easy recipe. Will definitely make it again.
Super easy to make and really delicious!!! Loved them on sandwiches!! Nicole is great!!
These were fantastic! Will make again!
Added extra garlic, used celery seeds instead of red pepper flakes, used mustard seeds instead of peppercorns. Turned out excellent. Next time I will follow the recipe.
Real easy and real good to have around for so many uses.
Looks pretty! Made it exactly as presented. A little salty…was expecting a bit sweeter. Also..would cut the onions even more thinly next time! Will attempt again with more sugar.
How have I not heard of these until now The punch these onions add to any burger or sandwich! I could see on fish tacos! Wow! The tears I shed while slicing these onions were well worth it! Once this jar is gone? Plan to repeat! Thanks for sharing this!!
Absolutely perfect on grilled hamburgers
