- My first pickling of the year, this time it is with the shallots that I planted out on 2nd Feb.
No recipe for this one as it is very much a "wing it" pickling!

Great stuff. I'm just starting out. I'm going to have to grow my own crop.
Go for it! I have a few updated version (nicer!) that you may like to try:

Planted out on my birthday....how could they fail😀. Lovely size 👍 One of the few foods that I will put salt on before eating 😉

It's tomatoes and celery with me - almost to the stage that I can't eat them without a sprinkle of salt.
Cheers mate
Very nice harvest of shallots, Steve. The jars are looking beautiful. Sad I don’t like picled things.
Aww - a pity about not liking pickles Benni but if we were all the same it would be a boring world!! I don't like shellfish, no matter how I try them LOL
@@DigwellGreenfingers
LOL. There you are….I love eating shellfish and I catch them in the sea too.
Hi Steve nice harvest mate and we both enjoy a pickled onion but only difference is the malt vinegar I can't take that . Keep safe Bill and val
Sarsons do a distilled pickling vinegar too Bill - it's as it gives you more scope with the herbs & spices you add.
@@DigwellGreenfingers I think that is the one val uses when she makes pickle onions she looks after me 😆
hi steve nice one i still got some pickled shallots from last year as well. all the best ivan
I used to give a load away at work but I am retired now so I will be giving some away at Christmas LOL
Lovely with a lump of cheddar cheese and french stick 😜
Stop it stop it - they need to mature for a few weeks LOL
Have a great weekend!
They looks like a nice healthy crop. I have never tried pickling shallots before. Though u have recently started pickling eggs
Pickled eggs are great and I do a mean Mexican Pickled Carrots (ruclips.net/video/7vcivSCqvF4/видео.html)
That's another one to try :-) I'll be harvesting mine after a couple of days of dry weather. It's rained again! Thank you as always :-) Avis
I don't mind picking them in the wet if I am going to use them straight away - the skins come off easier LOL
Hi Steve, I have found that sometimes I see a comment from a subscriber in the notification section but nothing on my channel, It's odd, I think I remember the same thing happening to Brainstorm Acres and CB, Take care.
Weird Ron as this one is okay!
@@DigwellGreenfingers So if someone has emailed you then they must have seen what I put, crazy.
@@ronaldandsusanshaws-growing It was RUclips, Ron. I get a message for every comment left. Here's Yours:
Ronald Shaw's - Car Park Growing Area commented on your video - Hi Steve, a great harvest and another great how-to pickle the harvest or most of it anyway, Take care.
Cheers Steve, just pealing mine now, wish I had washed them now as they could be a bit gritty......lol. cheers mate.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
You reply hasn't appeared here Steve, but yes they look better now they have had the salt bath overnight.
Thank you so much Steve for sharing your recipe, I recently saw a youtube vlog about making pesto from the onion plant tops perhaps an idea for something else (if you like pesto that is) so less waste ;) I'm going to try it out for sure. If interested it's acre homestead that I saw it from. Becky is in climatezone 8b as well as I am and perhaps you too? She's a young lovely girl who I can learn lots from. Take care dear Steve and have a lovely day xo Vleer.
Thanks Vleer - just checking out Becky's channel - looks good!
I do normally let the leaves go brown so that their goodness goes back into the bulbs before they heal over but that Pesto is certainly worth trying!
Stay safe!
Great shallot harvest Steve, good looking pickles too 😊
I had a couple in a salad last night Bethan - warming up nicely!
Have a great week
Very nice Shallots Steve never grown them or pickled anything at all, so might give them ago next season.
Stay Safe Mate,
Barry (Wirral)
Just plant them far enough apart to get a hoe in easily, Barry! Good luck mate
That is an impressive harvest 🤍yummy freshly pickled shallots...i love anything pickled!! Can you eat the green part of the shallot that you cut off?
Could put in a blender to mix and dehydrate or seperate them and do same. Then grind to make onion powder.
I would normally leave the tops on to dry and put their goodness back into the bulb but yes they are just as nice as spring onion leaves.
@@ameliabeeley4005 Good ideas Amelia!
Wow almost 2 k subs you’ll get there in no time flat. Great recipe Steve when did you sow those shallots? I love pickled onions with sharp cheddar cheese on rye bread mmmm. Thanks for sharing 👍✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe
Hi Ali. These shallots were started off on module trays on 9th Jan and planted out on the plot on 2nd Feb.
Have a great weekend!
The shallots looked really nice. When you "pickle" them, do they have a vinegary taste then?
Yes they do Deb - plus all the herbs & spices
Do you use the stalks for anything at all (apart from compost)?
Not really. I have used them in place of spring onions before but they don't taste quite as nice. It may be because the greens on shallots are quite old compared to the spring onions, not sure.
What shallot are they Steve? I used to grow Hative de niort but theyre a bit scarcer these days
Yes, these are Hative Nick (with one or two Aristocrat thrown in). I save quite a few but I have some new Hatives coming in a week or so.
I got a message that you had left a comment on the Cod Chowder video, Nick, but it is not there. Weird as there are no banned words in your comment. Good old YT!! Thanks anyway LOL
