I normally just top and tail remove first layer, put them in a jar adding a good dozen fresh birds eye chillis as i fill it up.  Nothing else other than the pickling vinegar.  Done.  Nice and spicey just how i like them  ;D

I think you might need a big 45 litre home brew bucket to pickle that lot  :D

The peelings the worst part.I make them for christmas any vinegar will do then add your desired spices ,I like to add a bit of sugar .For cruncchy ones soak in brine for 24 hrs , then your need one big jar

Thanks guys

 Im going to try - normal pickled onions (havent had them in years)
Then im going to make some red and yellow - fresh beetroot in some (red) and turmeric (yellow) with the inclusion of some chilies or chili flakes, mustard seed, cumin seed, cinamon, pepper corns - i think it will make a warming pickled onion

best, Rich
