To make pickled onions
Sterilize glass jars & lids by placing them in a large pot and filling it with water, until jars are completely submerged. Then place on stovetop and bring to boil. After 10 minutes of boiling, carefully remove jars and let cool & dry. I used two 32oz. jars and one 16oz. jar for this recipe.
Slice onions and separate each layer. If adding jalapeño slices, mix with sliced onions in large bowl. Then fill jars with onions and jalapeños pressing down as you go to fit as many as possible. Once you reach halfway point of jar, sprinkle a few whole peppercorns on top. Continue to fill jars to the top with onions/jalapeños and again sprinkle a few more peppercorns on top. Set aside.
In large saucepan, combine water, vinegar, salt and sugar and heat on stovetop. Bring to high heat without reaching a boil. Then pour over onions in jars and fill to top. Let cool, uncovered for two hours. Once cooled, cover with lids and store in refrigerator. They are ready to eat, but taste even better after a few days.
