Pickled Onions (Peel small silver button)

Peel small silver button onions, and throw them into a stew-pan of boiling water; as soon as they look clear, take them out with a strainer-ladle, place them on a folded cloth covered with another, and when quite dry put them into a jar and cover them with hot spiced vinegar. (See No. 1791.) When quite cold, bung them down, and cover with bladder wetted with the pickle.
