pill. n. 1. (Pharmacology) a small spherical or ovoid mass of a medicinal substance, intended to be swallowed whole. 2. (Medicine) the pill (sometimes capital) an oral contraceptive. 3. something unpleasant that must be endured (esp in the phrase bitter pill to swallow). 4. a ball or disc. 5. a small ball of matted fibres that forms on the surface of a fabric through rubbing.
Fill your jars, while still hot place a waxed disc over the pickle, then a clear (cellophane) circle over the top of the jar, and secure with a rubber band. As anything with vinegar can get through the clear top it's best to put a metal lid as well, over the clear cover.
Instructions. 1  Sterilize 7 quart jars or 14 pint jars and lids. 2  Peel and slice the onions. Add a handful of onion slices to each jar. 3  In a medium pot, bring the vinegar, water, honey, and salt to a rolling boil. Pour the brine into the jars, leaving 1/2 headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with a paper towel, and screw on canning lids until finger tight. Process in a boiling water bath for 30 minutes (as per OSU Extension Service's guidelines).
