Delicious, crunchy, sharp and spicy Pickled Onions

Ingredients

  • 1 kilo(s) pickling onions, peeled
  • 4 tablespoon(s) pickling spices
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) mustard seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried chili flakes
  • 27 grams salt
  • 1 litre(s) malt vinegar
  • 170 grams sugar

Method

Step 1

Sprinkle the salt over the dry, peeled onions, stir to make sure the salt is distributed and leave overnight. Next day (do not leave longer than overnight if you want your onions to be crisp) rinse the onions and dry with kitchen towel.

Step 2

Place the spices, vinegar and sugar into a large stainless steel pan. Heat to dissolve the sugar but do not boil.

Step 3

Pack the onions into clean, sterilized jars. Pour over the vinegar and spice liquid to fill the jars, make sure each jar has pickling spices in and check there are no air pockets. Seal the jars and leave to cool.

Step 4

The onions will be ready to eat after about one month or better if kept for two. Once opened store in a refrigerator.
