Pickled Salmon Large Recipe - Makes 9 pint jars
================================================
3 quarts fish
2 cups pickling salt
2 large onions, sliced, enough to layer in jars.
4 cups sugar
4 to 5 quarts of distilled white vinegar
8 T. pickling spices
12 - 14 bay leaves (optional)

Earlier in day bring to boil the sugar with the 8 cups of white vinegar, and the 8 T. of pickling spices (put in cheesecloth). Cool completely before pouring over the salmon.
.
Skin salmon fillet and cut off all or most of the fat (the fat is the thin and darker part of the fish) Rinse and dry fillets. Cut fish into
small pieces, approximate 1/2 inch by 1 inch. Place the three quarts of fish in a one gallon glass or crock container. Make sure you do not prepare more than 3 qts of fish. Add 2 cups of pickling salt and cover with white vinegar. Cover container and let stand in refrigerator for 5 days. After 5 day drain; rinse, and let stand in cold water for 1/2 hour. Drain. Loosely pack, and alternate the placement of salmon and sliced onions into nine pint equally filled glass jars.
Pour over cooled vinegar mixture. After pouring, distribute the remaining pickling spices evenly in each jar. Cover and refrigerate.
Your salmon will be ready to eat in 48 hours.

Notes:
1. Bay leaves are optional.
2. Removal of the fat is optional. Some think removing the fat makes the salmon taste sweeter.
3. During the five day refrigeration period, and because the salt settles to the bottom, it may be advisable to turn the salmon container
upside down two or three times. Doing this may enable a more even pickling process. To do this you will need a container with an
airtight top.
4. Don't skimp on the onions, and slice the onions about 1/4 inch thick. For some reason the more thinly sliced onions do not seem as
tasty.
5. Plastic containers/jars should not be used anywhere in the 5 day or 48 hour pickling process.
6. Whether you use 4 or 5 quarts of white distilled vinegar depends primarily on how loosely you pack the jars with salmon.
7. Use the regular canning lids and use the food saver to seal.
