Some things get better with time... like this weeks video AND pickled onions! I started filming this video early in the year when I harvested our onion crop. Which had many small onions. I share how I harvested... then a later time pickling them... and later again after the pickle liquid had done its thing. I hope you enjoy watching this full end to end look at harvest to a pickled onion ready to eat. I will pop a link to the video in the comments if you would like to watch.

Actually starts from 4:40 to make, after peeling onions! try run the mix with salt and sugar and add vinegar. also, insert onion into the jar and pour the prepared seasoning liquid into it. Bon Appetite! I love your recipe. 🤩

The great thing is the flexibility. Different spices on hand, vinegars and even sugar can change it up 😀

pick them, obviously,lol, quick wash, put in a bowl, pour boiling water over them, leave for a few minutes, i personaly leave until i can take them out of the water without difficulty, cut of the root end,the skin comes away easy, no tears,lol,put either into a brine water, or i just cover mine in a decent amount of table salt, leave overnight, rinse well, put into the jar,right to the top, then just fill to the brim with your choice of vineger. over here in the uk, we have all ready spiced malt vineger, just done 2 big kilner jars, end july, shall enjoy at xmas,tried them last year after a couple of weeks, crunchiest pickled onions ever, simples. enjoy.

Sounds wonderful and so many good tips Martina. I have read the method like you shared as being that traditional pub or fish and chip style pickle onion, that is so wonderful over there in the UK. One day I really should do a side by side of your method and the quick pickle to really appreciate the difference. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your advice 😀

My favorite way to eat pickled onions is on a cheese sandwich. I also add whole chilliest to my onions.

It truly is simple and yet incredibly delish. You can also adapt the spices to your taste and even change up the types of vinegar. But this base recipe is a go-to for us, as it is soooo good. I hope you like it too 😀

I always make sure to use a very sharp knife when cutting onions. My understanding is that the aroma that makes one tear up comes from when the small capillaries in onions are crushed or otherwise broken, but with a very sharp knife I'm able to slice right through them nice and cleanly

That is a great tip. Thanks Matt 👌 Im not always the best with keeping our knives sharp. So this could very well be a contributor.

Sticking them in the fridge for an hour or so can help reduce the eye irritation onions cause. I normally do 24 hrs cause I'm a little extra sensitive.

Something from working in kitchens is to have a wet t towel under the board and one behind the chopping board. Also cut them over the stove with the exhaust fan going as it and the wet t towels absorb the fumes.

Ooohhhh thats clever. The exhaust fan seems such a straightforward solution... and yet I have never heard anyone suggest it! Thanks a bunch 😀

I'm curious if your "brown vinegar" is what the Brits would call "malt vinegar?"
@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus5 ай бұрын
A good question! It is actually different. We have malt vinegar too. But what is commonly sold here as brown vinegar is a spirit vinegar with a bit of caramel flavour to it. And sometimes it is a brown spirit vinegar just to confuse things. In reality, we are always using different vinegar and spices for the pickling to get different flavours.

Best trick I got off a bunch of catering industry chefs was to have a match stick in your mouth when you cut/peel onion and this will stop the tears/burning eyes 😬

HI just wanted to ask you if you could help me.... i made some refrigerator cucumbers 5 days ago.. using apple cider vinegar, bay leaves, black pepper corns, mustard seeds. garlic, chili and water.. but opened a jar last night and the vinegar taste is overpowering to the point it makes your eyes go... would you know how to calm down the taste, can it be done once jared ? many thanks...
@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus9 ай бұрын
The awesome thing about fridge pickles is you can adjust to taste. Do keep in mind once you go less than 50% vinegar to water it doesn't seem to last as long. But for fresh eating, you could use any ratio. You can most definitely dilute now to your taste.
@poodlepup19 ай бұрын
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus thank you for the reply ... my concern was opening the jars up after sealing them to add a bit more sugar...
@alicemann31329 ай бұрын
Would this work for pickled garlic
@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus9 ай бұрын
Most pickled garlic recipes have a much stronger vinegar ratio. Do also keep in mind there is a very common reaction with garlic, where they get a blue/green look to the garlic. I would recommend a bit of a google on this topic before giving it a go.
