Mustard seed or chilli makes them much nicer!

I have very fond memories of sitting out in the front garden on a sunny day cutting and peeling pickling onions with my grandfather and then having hands that absolutely stank for days. .

I don't help make them anymore, but my grandparents still make us a big (~4 litre) jar every year or so which I absolutely love, especially with a nice thick fillet steak cooked medium-rare with home-cooked chips to cover in pickled onions and their vinegar, OM NOM NOM. .

Love them, easy to make and taste great, no kitchen is complete without a homemade jar, the shop-bought ones taste disgusting. :p.

Cheers! .

Hey Ocatoro.

What Keggy said, my Nan used to run a fish and chip shop so we would use shallots and Sarson's vinegar, the concentrated type so we could get it nice and strong.

But yeah, shallots and Sarson's malt vinegar, all you need.

Oh, you also need time, whilst they taste alright after a couple of weeks we have some that have been in the jar for something like a year and they taste awesome, so much better than ones left for 1-2 months, they are like a fine wine, they get much better with age. .

I use small onions. I fill the jar with onions, spices, salt pepper then boil the vinegar and sugar so the sugar dissolves then pour it in hot and seal the jar.

The work is in peeling the onions

I used too, but then I realised Garners were actually bloody good.

If you're doing your own, as mentioned above some mustard seeds and/or chilli goes a long way, in addition to the usual coriander etc.

I cheat!

I go to the cash & carry and buy a mega jar (about a gallon size) of their pickled onions. As sold they are absolute rubbish. However :-

a. Pour away all their awful acetic acid and rinse the onions
b. Fill up the jar with brine and leave for 3-5 days
c. Pour off the brine and add proper malt vinegar that has been simmered with pepper corms, chillis, a touch of corriander seed, a clove or 3 or whatever takes your fancy and has then been cooled

You may prefer to rebottle the onions in smaller, individual, jars. Remember the vapours from vinegar are corrosive so unless the jar lids are plastic you need to put a wax film layer below the lid

d. Leave for at least a year

I once found some jars of home-pickled onions that were 15 years old. Brown, streaked with silver, still firm and absolutely WONDERFUL
