Aquavit Onions

Ingredients

One 8-ounce (224-g) jar sour cocktail onions
1/4 cup (60 ml) aquavit
  1. Step 1

    Open the jar of onions, remove 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the liquid, and replace it with the aquavit. (You can also use vodka in place of aquavit and then add 20 caraway seeds and 10 coriander seeds.)
