Homemade Cocktail Onions
1 pound, pearl onions
1/2 cup, sherry vinegar or white vinegar
1/2 cup, cider vinegar
1/2 cup, water
1/2 cup, salt
1/4 cup, sugar
1/2 teaspoon, mustard seed
24 juniper berries
12 peppercorns
6 allspice berries
1 rosemary branch or
1 teaspoon, dried rosemary
1 dried chile pepper
1 cup, dry vermouth
Cook’s Note: This recipe can be made up to 1 month in advance and stored
in the refrigerator.
To peel the onions, place them in a large bowl and pour boiling water over
them just to cover. Allow them to stand for 1 minute. Drain and rinse under
cold running water. Using a paring knife, cut off the root ends of the onions
and peel off the thin outer skins.
Add all of the remaining ingredients except the vermouth to a medium-size
saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the onions to the saucepan, reduce the heat,
and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the onions to
cool in the liquid. Stir in the vermouth. Transfer the cooled onions and liquid
to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator.

Hello ____?
"Arbuckle" was synonymous in the Old West with "coffee". See the story of the
