  1. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, maple syrup or honey, salt, and Baharat spices. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. After 1 minute, check the salt has dissolved and remove it from the heat and set it aside.
  2. Boil the kettle. Put the onion slices in a sieve or colander. Pour over the hot water from the kettle and drain well. Once cooled enough to handle, pack the onion rings into a 500g sterilised jar then carefully pour the vinegar mixture into the jar over the onions.
  3. Cool then seal the jar and allow to pickle for at least 2 hours before serving.
