Pickled Pink Shallots image

Great as a salad topper, condiment for sandwiches, Serve on a cheese tray. Top a platter of sliced tomatoes with the sliced shallots and sprinkle some crumbled cheese over it. Serve with pate. Sweetened with honey or agave. I added optional lavender and juniper for a more intriguing aroma and flavor.
