    7 cups water

    1 onion
    thinly sliced

    Directions
    Fill glass gallon jar with 7 cups water and 1 cup coarse salt. Stir until dissolved. Add cut-up pike fillets to jar. Refrigerate 48 hours. Drain and empty jar and rinse well. Return fish to empty jar and cover with white vinegar. Refrigerate 24 hours. Remove fish from jar, but save vinegar. Boil 4 cups vinegar for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add 2 1/2 cups sugar. Stir until dissolved and let cool. Add 1/4 cup pickling spices and 1 cup white Silver Satin win. Layer fish in jar, alternating with thin slices of onion. Completely cover with liquid.

    Why save the vinegar after the fish soaked in it? Thanks.

    Because if you dump it down the drain, you would have to get fresh to boil… and that would be a waste.
