>>2399122im swedish, we do something called "1-2-3" most of the time, it's quite sweet.
>1 part vinegar (12%)>2 parts sugar>3 parts water maybe throw in a couple pepper corns and garlic cloves and mustard seeds if you want too. we also do this for pickled herring filets with onion,carrots and peppercorns plus a few other things varying from family to family.
also done onions and cukes but there's something missing for the cukes so dont try that (try american dill pickle recipes). the onions were great for tacos.
