- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- Today in the Great Lakes Kitchen, I'm showing how I make the most delicious pickled red onions. This is a very straightforward process with just a couple steps, and you'll end up with pickled onions that have the perfect texture and taste. My absolute favorite for tacos and Mexican food in general!
-----------------------------------
Recipe:
-1 medium-sized red onion
-1/4 cup white vinegar
-3/4 cup hot water
-3 tablespoons white sugar
-1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
-8 or 10 whole peppercorns
Cut onion in half and then cut into very thin slices. Place onion slices in bowl and cover with boiling water. After 1-2 minutes (no longer), strain onions and set aside.
To make brine, combine hot water, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and peppercorns. Stir very thoroughly.
Pack onion slices into pint-sized mason jar, and then pour bring over top until onions are completely covered. Leave jar on counter for awhile to cool down, and then refrigerate. Onions can be eaten after 24 hours, but they will taste much better after 3-5 days.

I don't like anything pickled, but my husband does. Looking forward making this for him!
Oh yes please let’s see The Who,e taco recipe!
Can’t wait to try this one, thank you 😊
Cant wait to make these!
Thanks for sharing definitely going to try this out. I can never finish red onions fast enough
Thanks for the recipe I just done a jar. You might want to change the written recipe to match the video?
Got me HOOKED... so I had to subscribe! Loved the video!
Thanks Bobby, glad you enjoyed it
Just curious . . . what did you do with the leftover brine? Always quality videos, Great Lakes!!
What is the knife that you are using? Looks nice and sharp! Thanks!
Hi Sharon, that's my Victorinox Santoku knife. It's this one, if you want to take a look... amzn.to/3ODxP6t
@@GreatLakesPrepping Thank you so much! I will check it out!
Use salt without any preservatives, like canning salt or Redmonds Real salt. They turn cloudy or slimy. Try 1 dried chili pepper in the bottom... or a shake of red pepper. And just pour the brine over the onions, no need to boil them first with a pot of water, its an extra step not needed, really why there a slimy mess after a few weeks.
How long does it stay fresh in the refrigerator?
It should be good for as long as an opened jar of pickles would be in the fridge. But I've always gone through a jar within a couple weeks, since it's just 1 onion's worth.
I'also wondering about how long is the longest time in fridge and still good?
If they're quick-pickled, I'd say about 3 weeks. They'll start getting mushy and slimy after that. If you hot-water bath canned them (like people do with pickled cucumbers and so forth), they can sit on a shelf for a year or more before you open them. But for fridge pickles, my timeline is about 3 weeks.
whats the white sauce at the end?
Cilantro lime sauce. Very tasty.
What is the white sauce on your taco's? Thanks
Hi Lorraine. That's a cilantro-lime sauce I make for tacos.
Recipe please!!
Cutting the onion in the opposite direction (Stem to root) breaks less of the onions cells, and reduces the amount of chemicals it gives off
could you do this recipe with other onions 🤔
You definitely can. They just won't look as pretty, or have that specific red onion taste.
@@GreatLakesPrepping thanks for letting me know
OK, I just have to say it: You are just so damn cute! ...from someone old enough to be your mom
Ha, well thank you Christine, I appreciate the compliment!
Great video but every recipe I have ever seen or done; you never slice the onions against the grain. Always with the grain. Give it a try. It's a big difference..
Yes, always slice root to stem.
I never understood why people add sugar to this.
You have too much Brine left, maybe I should use half of the brine ingredients.
Two years it will stay fresh.seed soil sunshine
Oh wow that's a long time! Thanks for responding
@@seedssoilsunshine2909 know for a fact.
@@seedssoilsunshine2909 2 years is a lot longer than I would keep it. Just to mention that.... 2 years seems way long and I'm not sure what that info is based on. Most google results say 2-3 weeks. I'd be comfortable going about a month. 2 years seems like unsafe advice.
@@GreatLakesPrepping I definitely would not keep that long, lol. I was thinking more like 4-6 weeks at the most for me! 🙂
Don't think that is safe. 2-3 weeks.
