Thanks elkrun, that does look like a killer recipe.

Very similar to the mine. The recipe I have calls for brine for 5 days with a 1/2 cup salt and enough vinegar to cover. Then the vinegar, sugar, water, onion for another 5 days.

I hope it doesn't come out to salty?? I have two jars pickleing right now. I think I might pull one out early and leave the other in the full 5, just to see what happens.
