Pickled White Onions

PICKLED WHITE ONIONS 
This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased 
the family collection from the Poe Estate in Justin, Texas in 1987.
3 pounds tiny white onions
2 tablespoons coarse salt
Water
3 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves tied in a bag
6 dried red pepper pods
6 small bay leaves
Soak onions and one tablespoon salt 2 hours in water to cover.
Remove onions and peel then soak 48 hours in water to cover adding 
the remaining salt.
Drain and rinse.
Bring to a boil the vinegar, one cup water, sugar and cloves.
Add onions and boil 5 minutes then remove bag and ladle into hot 
sterilized jars.
Make sure to cover onions with boiling vinegar mixture.
Add a pepper pod and bay leaf to each jar then seal at once.
Process in canner for 10 minutes.
Let stand six weeks before using.
