This is just the best! Perfect for every day or
special occasions. You'll want to double the recipe and make it often. Good on hot dogs & burgers too. Great as a side dish!

MARINATED ONION RINGS

1 large Spanish Onion, sliced in thin
Cold Water to cover
1 cup White Sugar
1 cup Vinegar
1/2 - 3/4 tsp. Dry Mustard
1 cup Cold Water
1 Tbs. Salad Oil

Slice onion into the thinnest slices you can. A food slicer makes this a snap to do. Separate into rings and place in bowl. Cover with lots of water. Let stand for 1 hour.
In small saucepan mix sugar, vinegar, mustard, water and oil. Heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Drain onions. Pour sugar-vinegar mixture over onions. Let stand in refrigerator, covered, for at least one day before serving.
Serves 8-10.
