Answer 2

Mom still make onion and cucumber and carrot pickles. But she didnt boil it. For the amount, lets say red onion cut into 2piece. Cube cut cucumber and sweet carrot. For the liquid, the comparison should be : vinegar : sugar : water = 1tbsp : 1tbsp : a small tea cup. Mix those,pour into the jar (small size skippy peanut butter jar,but u might want to have bigger jar pickles so just add) n put onion inside it. Close the jar. Onion must be soaked in it. If u make them at 9am, u can eat it at dinner.
