There are plenty to share with friends, and to make pickles. My favorite recipe is a refrigerator pickle that we slice and use as salad topping.
I admit, the hardest thing about this recipe is peeling those tiny onions, but it's worth the effort!

Onion topsets to fill 8 oz jar, blanched and peeled
2/3 cup rice vinegar
1tbsp honey
1/2 tsp mustard seed
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
