Categories     Condiment     Ingredient

Time 12h55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounces /25 g table salt
2 1/4 pounds/1 kg pickling onions (peeled; see note below)
4 teaspoons pickling spices
For the Spice Mix:
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
For the Pickling:
35 ounces/1 l malt vinegar
6 ounces/170 g sugar

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients for the onions.
  • Sprinkle the salt over the dry, peeled onions.
  • Stir to make sure the salt is distributed. Cover, refrigerated overnight (do not leave longer than overnight if you want your onions to be crisp).
  • When ready, rinse the onions and dry with kitchen or paper towels.
  • Gather the ingredients for the pickling liquid.
  • Place the malt vinegar, sugar, and all the pickling spice ingredients in a large stainless steel pot.
  • Heat on medium to dissolve the sugar, but do not boil.
  • Pack the onions into clean, sterilized jars (about two wide-mouth, quart-size canning jars, or smaller jars, if desired).
  • Pour the vinegar-spice liquid over the onions to fill the jars, making sure each jar has pickling spices and that there are no air pockets.
  • Seal the jars and let cool. Store refrigerated. The onions will be ready to eat after about one month.
  • Peeling pickling onions is fiddly and time-consuming. To speed up the process, cut off the top and tail of the onions.
  • Then place the onions in a large heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over to cover.
  • Drain the water after 10 minutes, and presto, the skins will just rub right off.
  • Do not leave in the water too long or the onions will start to go mushy when you preserve them. Dry the onions with a kitchen towel or paper towels. Proceed with pickling.
