Dilly's Onion Rings
- 1 large onion (either a mild or sweet onion...a red onion is nice as it is more colorful)
- 13 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh baby dill (it's not as good with dried dill weed)
- 12 cup white vinegar
- 12 cup water
- 4 large ripe tomatoes, as an accompaniment
- Cut the onions in thin slices.
- Seperate the slices into rings and put them in a bowl.
- Combine the sugar, salt, dill, white vinegar, and water.
- Pour the liquid over the onion rings.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, stirring every hour or so.
- Serving suggestions: Slice large ripe tomatoes and arrange on a platter.
- Lift the onion rings out of the brine and sprinkle them on top of the tomato slices.
- Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley leaves if desired.
- You can use these onion rings to garnish cooked carrots, cooked green beans, even mashed potatoes.
- They're also a wonderful garnish for a mixed green salad.
- Covered tightly and stirred a couple of times a day, these marinated onion rings should last for at least a week in the refrigerator.
