HOT Pickled Onions image

These NEVER last in my home! I usually double the ingredients & do about 10 lbs of those tiny, little onions at a time. I hate peeling them so my motto is......"if you don't help, then you don't eat". I never have any trouble getting "volunteers"!!! The elapsed time is overnight but I've guessed at the prep time - it depends on the "volunteers" and whether or not, you're drinking wine!!
