Canned Bread and Butter Onions

.

This tasty little number is a recipe I created after first tasting a mixed veggie pickle at the age of 26. The onions are the only part I liked so now that is what I make.

A sandwich’s delight. This is a very versatile recipe. You can use them on sandwiches, with meats like roast beef. It is wonderful on chicken. It can be added any where pickle relish goes like hot dogs, hamburgers, in macaroni salad. My favorite is a roast beef sandwich with these onions. It is just to die for.
