Pickled Onion recipe...

Curry_Queen

Well, I've done them now anyway ... and also added 3 dried chillis to each jar, broken in half to release the seeds into the vinegar!!! ... hot, HOT, HOT :eek: :rotfl:

The only onions I've ever seen in white vinegar before are the little silverskin ones, but to be honest I can't see that it should make a difference, at least I hope not!

Hi,

Just a quick question...I think i'm going barmy.:o

I've been pickling onions for the last three years but I can't remember when the best time is.

Is it the end of this month?.. october?

I just wanted to pencil in a weekend so I'm all organised

(already brought the pickling vinegar....its on offer in tesco at the moment if anyones interested)

thank you

I have not done this for years and did not even realise that there was a best time.
Seem to remember pickling them in September ready for Christmas if that heps.

Do you pickle the pickling onions or shallots? I find the shallots stay crispy for longer.

By thre middle of October is best for Christmas - must warn the greengrocer I need 8lbs soon - he doesn't notmally keep them in in quantity!

mmmm yes I pickle shallots too...and sorry I did mean so they were ready for Christmas.

I'm really lucky on our market we can buy pickling onions by the netted sack.

Thank you for everyone answering......uuuummmm still not too sure with one kind poster saying sept and another saying October

Has anyone seen these in the shops yet I've been on the lookout for weeks and still no sign of them around here.
I used the recipe from Preserved last year and they were lovely so doubling up the amount this time.I just need to find my gasmask...

Hi, I dug my shallots at the beginning of this month - so they're waiting in my shed to be pickled. Will put this on my to-do list for the end of the week.

I use a recipe with spiced honey - yummy! Can't wait for them to be ready.

Yeah...I could do with a hand too. I've got some shallots left over from something or other - might have been the kedgeree. They'll go to waste :eek: unless I do something with them. Any tips for making them a bit scary? :drool:
