pickled onions

[maggie144]

I pickled some onions about two months ago, but on opening then found them far too spicy (think i added too much pickling spice)

Was wondering if i can empty the vineger and re do them in fresh vinegar without the spices

any help would be appreciated

I can't say I know alot about pickling, but I see no reason why not. If you leave them in the new vinegar for a week or so before eating them, I would imagine that some of the spices would eek out and make them more palatable.

Milder version goes thusly.

Peel onions, fill jars, add 1 tsp mustard seed, 1 bay leaf and 6 black pepper corns to each jar. Use a brine of 3 cups vinegar, 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup salt.

Can be processed, or simply covered and eaten as a refrigerator pickle in one month.
