  • b. Note 2: Stuff the onions and if you have left over onions, just cover the jar with your palm and shake the jar up and down a few times, that should help settle the onions and give your more room.
  • When the vinegar mixture starts to boil, turn the heat off and set aside for a minute to cool (about a minute).
