Another fabulous recipe from you Sylvia!
Simple to make and so very delicious. 
A lovely addition to our evening salad.
Thankyou.
Ps... I still have not purchased bread since early May when I first commenced making your ‘no-knead sourdough’- it’s just so beautiful to eat!😍

These are so simple, quick, and delicious.  They have quickly become a staple in my house.  My kids like to snack in them 😊

I've made this twice now and it's really good. the onions come so soft and not at all acidic like raw pickled onions do. I use them on everything...fried eggs, sandwiches, salads. cheese plates etc.. so good.
For whole spices I've used lightly toasted fennel seeds, nigella seeds and coriander seeds which makes a nice subtle flavour that goes with everything I think.

So quick to make, and elevated our quinoa salad to another level. This hits the spot!

English Pickled Onions! As versatile as they are tasty (see blog post for ideas), you&#039;ll want to make a double batch because they&#039;re thoroughly delicious!

English Pickled Onions (Pub Style)

onions

malt vinegar

honey

sugar

coriander seeds

mustard seeds

black peppercorns

allspice berries

cloves

To more easily peel the onions:&nbsp; Trim the ends off of each onion and place them in a heat-proof bowl.&nbsp; Pour boiling water over them and let them sit for a minute.&nbsp; Then drain, rinse with cold water and remove the peels.&nbsp;Place the peeled onions in a bowl, sprinkle with the salt and toss to distribute the salt.&nbsp; Cover with a towel or loosely with plastic wrap and let them sit at room temp overnight.&nbsp; Don't let them sit longer than 14 hours or so or the amount of "crunch" will be compromised.&nbsp; Rinse well and drain thoroughly.

To make the brine:&nbsp; Place all remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil until the sugar is dissolved.&nbsp;&nbsp;

While the brine is simmering, pack the onions into sterilized mason/Kilner jars (plan on using either 4 pint sized jars or 2 quart sized jars).  Pour the hot brine over the onions (I pour it through a sieve to collect the spices) and then distribute the spices among the jars.  Stick a butter knife or other long object down into the jars to ensure there are no air bubbles.  Wipe the jar rims down with a clean, damp cloth.  Place the canning lids on the jars (or rubber rings if using) and screw/snap shut while hot to create a vacuum seal.  Let the onions cool and then place them somewhere at room temp to mature for at least 3-4 weeks before eating, preferably 6-8 weeks for best flavor.  Once opened store them in the fridge where they will keep for 3+ months.

If canning the onions via boiling water bath for long-term storage (note: they will lost much of their crunchiness):&nbsp; Pack the jars as described above and wipe the rims.&nbsp;&nbsp;Stick a butter knife or other long object down into the jars to ensure there are no air bubbles.&nbsp; Place the lids on the jars and screw them on.&nbsp; Process them in a boiling water bath canner.&nbsp; For pint-sized jars in altitudes up to 1000 ft, process for 10 minutes (see chart in blog post for higher altitudes).Remove the jars from the canner and let them sit undisturbed for 24 hours.&nbsp; Check to make sure the lids are airtight.&nbsp; Then store them in a cool, dark place where they will keep for up to a year.&nbsp; Once opened store them in the fridge where they will keep for 3+ months.

Making sous vide pickled onions is faster than making a refrigerator pickled onions. Precision temperature in a short amount of time will produce a crisp, flavorful pickled onion.

Sous Vide Pickled Onions

red onion (thinly sliced)

red wine vinegar

t salt

t sugar

T pickling spice mix

In a zip top bag, add the red wine vinegar, water, pickling spice mix, salt and sugar.

Place the bag in the water of your sous vide using the water displacement method.

While the sous vide is heating, slice your red onion thinly or to your desired thickness.

Once your water comes to temperature, agitate the liquid contents of the bag to be sure that the salt and sugar have dissolved.

Add the sliced onion to the bag and re-submerge the bag using the water displacement method. Secure the bag to the side of the pot with a clip.

Remove from the water bath and shock (stop the cooking) of the onions in an ice bath.

Store the pickled onions in their brine, in a closed container.

QUICK PICKLED RED ONIONS RECIPE

red onion (sliced thin)

In a small bowl, add vinegar, salt, maple syrup and hot water. Stir together to combine.

Add the prepared pickling mixture to the Jar filled with onions. Allow the onions to rest in the pickling mixture for an hour (or more) to soak up and deepen the flavors.

Pickled Onions

red onions (sliced super thin)

white vinegar

filtered water

Place sliced onions into clean sterilized jars, pack tightly. (If I'm out of mason jars, I like to use old spaghetti sauce or pickle jars!  Just make sure they're well cleaned.)

Combine vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a microwave safe glass or bowl and microwave for 1 - 2 minutes, until salt and sugar dissolve when stirred.

Pour brine over onions, cover and refrigerate at least two days.  When the onions have turned an even shade of pinkish purple, they're ready.

Enjoy!

Super fast and easy refrigerator pickles! Sweet, spicy, and crunchy!

Sweet and Spicy Refrigerator Pickles

cucumbers (thinly sliced (about 6 cups when sliced))

apple cider vinegar (see notes)

honey (see notes)

garlic

red pepper

Sprinkle 3 teaspoons of salt over your thinly sliced cucumbers and red onion. Place cucumbers and onions in a colander and let sit for 1 hour—this helps remove the extra moisture from the vegetables. Set aside and start on your pickling mixture.

In a small saucepan over low heat, add your vinegar, water, honey, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper. Bring mixture to a boil and let boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

After your cucumbers and onions have sat for 1 hour, rinse salt and pat dry. Add your cucumbers and onions to 1 large jar or divide between 2 medium size jars (see notes). It’s okay to really squish the cucumbers and onions in there. Pour the pickling liquid into the jar(s) covering the cucumbers and onions. Place lid on tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before eating.

Pickled onions are one of our favorite condiments and we always have a jar of homemade ones on hand. For this fermented onion recipe, we used red onions because their sweetness, paired with the natural sourness of lacto-fermentation, makes this a deliciously tangy fermented snack that’s packed full of umami.Here at FarmSteady, we love our fermented vegetable recipes. Why? Because they are some of the easiest and tastiest ferments you will ever make, and they are perfect if you are a beginner just starting to get your fermentation groove on. Give this fermented red onion recipe a go, and soon you will start using pickled onions on everything from burgers to tacos, and even to spice up your avocado toast.Fermented red onions are closer in texture to cooked onions than raw. The process of fermentation breaks down the onion’s crisp texture, transforming them to a smooth and silky condiment. If you usually avoid raw onions because of their bite and pungent flavor, pickled onions are a great alternative. In addition to the change in taste and texture, the fermentation process makes onions easier to digest and even more nutritionally beneficial than if you were to cook them. Lacto-fermentation creates a ferment packed with natural probiotic cultures that our gut loves, so this is not just a delicious condiment, but a healthy one too. This is why we prefer homemade to store bought, as pickled onions from the store are not always fermented.

Fermented Red Onions

red onions, thinly sliced

In a large mixing bowl, combine your sliced onions and salt. Massage onions for a few minutes until well combined and onions begin to sweat and soften.

Pack the onions into your fermentation jar. Add any liquid released from the onions.

Add fermentation weight and pour in water.  The liquid will not cover your onions on day one. Questions about fermentation weights? Check out our Fermentation Weight Guide.

Top with lid and airlock (Need help? Check out our How to Assemble Airlock Video).  Let ferment at room temperature out of direct sun light.

Check your onions the next day once the onions have had time to release some liquid. Top off fermenter with water so onions are fully submerged when weighted. Return lid and airlock and continue to let ferment at room temperature out of direct sunlight for 5-7 days.

Transfer finished pickled red onions to jars and move to the refrigerator. Fermented onions will keep refrigerated for at least 2 months.

The recipe I am sharing today is vert poignant, as it was my mum&#x27;s recipe for Traditional Homemade Pickled Onions, and she made a few jars every November for the Christmas tea table. Why only make these in November? Well, in the UK you start to see small &quot;pickling onions&quot; in the greengrocers and supermarkets from October onwards, and with a view to the Christmas buffet table, and that ubiquitous cheese board, now is the time to make these pickled onions so they have time to &quot;mature&quot; for 6 weeks. If you make them in the first week of November, they will be wonderfully mellow but still crisp and crunchy by the time the festive period starts in earnest. 

These Traditional Homemade Pickled Onions WILL keep quite happily for up to a year in the pantry, as long as it is cool and dark, but they are best eaten with 6 months. Serve these traditional pickled onions with cheese, cold meats, pork pies, ploughman&#x27;s lunch as well as with quiches, flans and salads. They are also great when served with fish and chips, in the style of a proper &quot;Yorkshire Fish Supper&quot;. 

I also have a recipe for pickled shallots here: Christmas in a Jar – Pickled Shallots should you have problems finding small pickling onions.
