Pickled Onions - Dry or Wet Brine?

[daviddevantnhisspiritwife]

I did make the runner bean pickle/relish thing. I ventured to try the half jar overage after a month and it is very sweet for my taste. It's nice, just very sweet.

Any suggestions to knock the sweetness back? Or, should I allow it more festering time?

Let it fester much longer. All pickles and chutneys need to be matured. I don't think that onions are really ready for a year.
