HOW TO MAKE PICKLED ONIONS/CEBOLLA ENCURTIDA: Elevate Your Cooking Game/Great on Almost Everything!

If you want to elevate your cooking game, then this video is a great place to start. In it I show you How to Make Pickled Onions or Cebolla Encurtida. They are delicious on just about everything...from sandwiches and salads, to breakfast omelettes and any kind of meat. Best of all, they're easy to make. Read on for the recipe.
Pickled Onions/Cebolla Encurtida
3 medium sized red onions, sliced thin
2 jalapeños, sliced thin (optional)
3 cups water
3 cups vinegar (any kind: white, red wine, apple cider vinegar will all work)
2 tsp. salt
4 tsp. sugar
whole peppercorns
Sterilize glass jars & lids by placing them in a large pot and filling it with water, until jars are completely submerged. Then place on stovetop and bring to boil. After 10 minutes of boiling, carefully remove jars and let cool & dry.
I used two 32oz. jars and one 16oz. jar for this recipe.
Slice onions and separate each layer. If adding jalapeño slices, mix with sliced onions in large bowl. Then fill jars with onions and jalapeños pressing down as you go to fit as many as possible. Once you reach halfway point of jar, sprinkle a few whole peppercorns on top. Continue to fill jars to the top with onions/jalapeños and again sprinkle a few more peppercorns on top. Set aside.
In large saucepan, combine water, vinegar, salt and sugar and heat on stovetop. Bring to high heat without reaching a boil. Then pour over onions in jars and fill to top. Let cool, uncovered for two hours. Once cooled, cover with lids and store in refrigerator. They are ready to eat, but taste even better after a few days.

My favorite addition to street tacos!❤

[@marcyinspired1442]

For sure! Street tacos are the best already, the pickled onions would just put them over the top!

[@angelinarojo3990]

I've never tried making these. It's so much easier then I thought and I love the color.

[@marcyinspired1442]

I agree. The color makes them so beautiful, you can give a jar away as a gift.

[@taosjedi]

Love me some pickled onions on my sandwiches and cold roast beef! So easy to make too!!

[@marcyinspired1442]

I took a jar to my sister because she grilled burgers for my mom's birthday. They were definitely a hit. I already need to make more.

[@bettywood2548]

Looks good I love onions

[@marcyinspired1442]

We have really been enjoying them on everything!

[@KFrai11]

Great recipe. I will make again.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Happy to hear that. I need to make it again soon. We've finished these three jars.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Next week I'll be sharing one of my favorite ways to use these pickled onions, so I really hope you make them. (You got a sneak peek in this video.) I'm not kidding when I say you can put them on ANY and EVERYthing! We've been putting them in our omelettes in the morning and absolutely love them!

Can you water bath can this recipe for long term storage

[@monavelasco-mireles261]

Hi Marcy, is it possible to use a traditional canning method on this recipe?

[@L.Spencer]

Curious why you waited to put the lids on. If you had done it right away, as it cooled, would it have sealed? And since everything is sterilized and boiling, you could store it longer? That's how my grandma used to make grape juice. Boil the jars and lids, boil the juice, fill the jars, put on the lids and after a few hours we'd hear them sealing one by one as they cooled. But then, maybe that wasn't what you're going for. I have since learned that most people don't can the way my grandma did, they drop the filled jars in warm water or something like that. I think one has to be a lot more careful and reach a much higher temperature for things that aren't sweet and acidic, like if I were going to can beans.

[@marcyinspired1442]

You're exactly right. That's how my mom always did her vegetable canning, where she would put the lids on the hot jars, (I think she even put them back in the hot pan with boiling water) and then we'd hear the lids seal. I should have probably explained that in this video, but I definitely was not thinking long term canning. Pickled onions never last long with my family.

[@kathyfeliciano4679]

Hi Marcy how many days can you save these onions once made in the refrigerator?

[@marcyinspired1442]

It should keep about a month. Although, once you start adding them to everything, they won't last long.
