Onions for the winter without vinegar
1 serving
30 minutes
A recipe for those who are absolutely not satisfied with the vinegar taste in home marinades. Although vinegar plays an important role as a preservative in any preparations, you can do without it by replacing it with lemon juice. It will not be as piercing , but the sour-sweet-spicy balance of lemon, onion and sugar will give an excellent one. The main thing is to open this preparation no later than the New Year: it is stored a little less than ordinary vinegar preserves, but the ingredients are all healthy and natural without exception. The original amount of products will make about 1 liter of preparation.
