Bread And Butter Onions

A couple of weeks ago we went to the local farmer's market looking for fresh vegetables. One of the Amish women there was selling jars of Bread and Butter Onions. I'd never considered such a thing, but it sounded like a great idea. She confirmed that it was a regular bread and butter pickle recipe, but without the cucumbers. I made a batch last weekend, leaving out the salt of course. I haven't opened them yet, but I can't wait to try them on a hamburger.

4 Onions,Sliced
1 1/4 c Cider Vinegar
1 1/4 c Sugar
1/2 t Turmeric
1/2 t Mustard Seed
1/4 t Celery Seed

Thinly slice onions and separate into rings. In a saucepan combine vinegar, sugar and spices. Heat to boiling. Add onions. Heat 2-3 minutes. Chill and serve. May be stored in the refrigerator for 1 month. For longer storage, sterilize 2 pint jars. Pack hot pickles to within 1/2 inch of top. Wipe off rim, screw on top and place in Dutch oven or other deep pan. Cover with water, bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes.
