Pickled Onions
This recipe is not an original. I learnt the basics from my Aunty and have since altered some ingredients and methods which I found by trial and and error and my good friend google. For instance I learnt from the internet that if you soak your onions in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then put them in the sink with cold water, peeling them is so much easier. I use a pressure cooker to sterilize my jars. You can add up to 1 tbspn of brown sugar to the vinegar mix to sweeten a little. Use any vinegar you prefer, this is a good recipe to experiment with. Omit the chilli flakes if you dont like them but the finished onions are not very hot and the chilli does give a nice subtle tang. One other tip. If you double up on the recipe, no need to use double the amount of salt. I use just a pinch or so more only when I prepare 2 kilos of onions.

Pickled Onions Pickled Onions
I heard from my husband that pickled onions are good for you, so now it's become a staple dish in our home.For those who aren't quite partial to vinegar, use 1 part vinegar to 1 part soy sauce, or add sugar or dashi stock to make it milder. You can use the leftover vinaigrette for vinegar dishes or to make ponzu or dressing. Pickling eliminates the sharpness of the onion and highlights the sweetness. See. Recipe by Setsumika

Pickled Onion Tops Pickled Onion Tops
I was doing a recipe for old fashioned pickled onion, so I thought what can I do with tall these tops. So here it is. It reminded me when I turned 5 years old. We left Florida on my birthday to go to Georgia. My dad was working out of state.He finished the job and got another in Tennessee. So we move there. Right before I turned 6, I started first grade. I remembered this because at first they wasn't going to let me because I had about 3 weeks before I turned 6. So anyway my mom convinced them.In the area of Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee the grass had wild onions growing in it. When they mowed the grass especially at the school it had a nice aroma of onion. So during recess a lot of us went to pick onion tops and eat them. So I thought of this recipe a pickled snack or add on to different dishes or sandwiches. -
Old Fashioned Pub Pickled Onions Old Fashioned Pub Pickled Onions
In the 1700's England had an explosion of documented, recorded, pickled preserving recipes. Pickled onions as far as I could find was a recipe which comes from, Sarah Harrison’s 1739 cookbook The House-Keeper’s Pocket-Book. The Jamaican pepper mentions was Jamaican allspice. I just chose the English pub pickled onions, because I love malt vinegar. The onions they use are not available and the pearl onions are a bit bigger then the small boiling onions. Plus the pearl onions are very expensive. So I am going to adapt this recipe with a common onion that's cheap here. They are bigger, but by the time I purchase enough pearl onions it would be well over $30.00 so Vidalia it will be.
