California Farm Pickled Pearl Onions

Time to pickle! We use pint jars. Other than the spices for each vegetable, the method for preserving our farm veggies is identical for all of them. They stay sweet and sour, fresh, crispy, and are tasty for nine months. Once opened, they stay fresh in the fridge for 6 more weeks. All I do is write the year on the cap and put them in the pantry. There are two methods, Dutch and American.
