Thumbing through a REAL Pioneer Cook Book
I found vinegar to be a vital part of the plains pioneer's life.
That's when I found a recipe for Onion Vinegar.
Sounds good to me.
Will share.
A Spanish onion is a type of onion that is typically about the size of a softball, has a fine grain, and a yellow or white skin.
It's known for its very mild flavor, with many people finding it sweet enough to eat raw.
Though Spanish onions don't keep very well, they are versatile enough to work in many different types of dishes.

~ONION VINEGAR~
1 quart of cider vinegar
2 teaspoonfuls of white sugar
2 large Spanish onions or 4 ordinary white onions
1 teaspoonful of salt
Peel and grate the onions, mix with them the salt and sugar.
Let it stand two hours and add vinegar.
Turn into bottles and shake every day for two weeks.
Strain through cheese-cloth, bottle and cork.
This may be used for salads or may be added to French Dressing instead of plain vinegar, and may be used in stews or other dishes where a very delicate onion flavor is desired.
Does that sound good enough to drink?
Well.....maybe not.
I can see using it on a salad though.
Onions and vinegar are healthy for you.
Okay with that.
