Minted Onion Relish

Ingredients

• 2 cups white vinegar
• 1 cup loosely packed fresh mint sprigs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced and separated into rings
• 1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Preparation

1. 1. Cook first 4 ingredients in a Dutch oven over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium, and cook 10 minutes. Pour mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding mint sprigs. Return vinegar mixture to Dutch oven, and bring to a boil. Add onion rings; bring to a boil, and boil 1 minute. Remove onion mixture from heat, and stir in diced pimiento. Cool 30 minutes.
2. 2. Stir 2 Tbsp. chopped mint into onion mixture; cover and chill at least 2 hours.
