HOW TO Make Pickled Red Onions | Preserving your Harvest
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 янв 2020
- For this, we started by peeling and slicing about 10# of Red Onions into rings. We grew these onions in our garden last summer, and have been storing them in our house after curing them in the fall. Unfortunately, a few were starting to sprout, so it was time to preserve them for long term storage. For the brine / juice, we used 6 cups Red Wine Vinegar, 4 cups Apple Cider Vinegar, 1/2 cup Sugar, and just shy 1/4 cup Salt. Several of the jars had spices added as well, including: 1 Bay Leaf, 8 Peppercorns, 1 Allspice Berry, and 1 Clove. After packing, they went into a water bath canner for 10 minutes. These will get better, much better, over time. So store in your pantry, and forget about them for at least a couple of weeks.
Hope you enjoyed! ♥ Todd & Rachel

We don't have much if anything mexican food wise in the UK but when I came across this I knew I had to try it. I bought a massive bag of onions the other day and copied this and they have come out amazing gonna do another lot this weekend thanks 👍
thx's for giving me inspiration, at the young age of 67 planted my first garden, and started canning...my problem is when my family wants to try something I lie and say it's not ready, it's just so nice sitting on my shelves. I know the reason to can was to have food, and preserve what we grew, but I'm so proud I want to stare at them for a few weeks/months.
I like the way you interact with each other, and it's like we're your guests. Cheers
I would like to have both of them as neighbor.
This totally has the feel of sitting round the table chatting with mum and dad. Love it.
thanks for including the brine measurements in your description. A lot of people talk about their measurements but never give them to you in a way that is easy to write out and duplicate.
Man I do love me some red onions! I often eat one raw with my meals, shout out to my fellow onion lovers
Jewnas123 Seems to be giving you a hairy chin
I eat raw oingon raw garlic and a raw chili with my meals
@jewnas123 I do that with Vidalia onions! I slice one up with peas, cornbread, and potatoes! 😋😋
I know it has been years but I just dill pickled some red onions as I don't like sweet pickles, and they are AMAZING!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Yes, definitely get yourselves a mandolin haha! I make pickled red onions and my Latino neighbors love them. To the jar I add a couple bay leaves, black pepper, 5 smashed garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, a couple pinches of dried Mexican oregano, a jalapeño sliced thin on the mandolin, and about 2 red onions also sliced thin on the mandolin. Then I add the juice of about 12 fresh limes and add white vinegar to cover everything in the jar. After about an hour, you’ll have perfect Mexican pickled red onions.
What size jar does this make? Do you put in any water? TIA
I believe the pint size? Whatever the most common size mason jar is, but you can certainly make more or less if you prefer and just adjust the ingredient amounts to your liking. No, you do not add any water.@@rhondasmithis
Hi from Australia :)
The gas in onions look for a source of water to cling to, this generally means your tear ducts are the closest water source it can find
It can help having a bowl of water or even some wet tea towels around your prep space to minimise how much gets into your tear ducts :) thanks for the video
Great video, I hope your deployed children are staying safe out there, god bless them for serving!!! Thanks
You two remind me of my husband's and my relationship. Makes me smile. Be so blessed. 😊
Must be a perfect pair
@@1870s we are. He makes me so very happy. So blessed.
Just finished making these! Thanks for the great recipe. It was a perfect Michigan day to throw open the windows, cut onions and boil that water.
One thing I'd recommend is to cut the onions long ways (with the lines). It ruptures less cell walls and in my experience is less likely to make you cry. I also like the look of them as strands of pickled onion rather than rings. Great video!
Is that a proven fact? I think that may just be a popular misconception.
@@gd7681 It's a fact the Onions have long cells. I can't say for certain whether you're less likely to cry from cutting it long ways though, that's just my experience.
Yup, it's a fact. I learned it from a site that emphasizes science in food preparation. It was mentioned in an article about caramelizing onions. They will hold their shape better if you cut them from root to tip. When you cut them across the lines, they are weaker structurally and will turn to mush/jam.
I definitely rock onion goggles when ever I'm making a large canning batch of anything with onion. My husband laughs but I get the job done without interruption!
"A mix of recipes" - after my own heart! Just look at a bunch of recipes to get the basic idea of how it's done. Then I make something from what I have in the pantry!
Thanks for the idea. I will put it on my list!
I am making batches of soup now because, with the heat, my cellar stored vegies are sprouting.
You could make an onion marmalade! It freezes well too.
2 pounds red or yellow onions, sliced
2cloves of garlic minced
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup balsamic vinegar
1 orange zest plus the juice of the orange
1 tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. pepper, crushed
Hi guys, try lighting a candle and sit it near your work area when cutting onions , works for me! Great video.
Great video! You can also Use the jar funnels to make getting the onions in the jars a lot easier and with less mess.
When I have extra onions, I cut them into little petals and bake them up, then dip them into a zesty sauce! It gives kind of a "blooming onion" experience without all the calories of the deep fried breading.
You guys are one of my favorite RUclips couples. You work so well together and make simple no nonsense informative videos.
I was looking for a recipe for these onions to can. Thankfully you had just what I was looking for. Thanks!!
I have made so many of your recipes, and we have enjoyed the ones we made SO much! You are my favorite homesteaders❤️ Happy that I found you!!
Enjoyed your video! A couple of years ago, I got my first taste of pickled red onions on a pub burger at a Culver's restaurant. Most of the time, for YEARS, if I have a cheeseburger, I will just eat it plain because I just want to taste the meat, the cheese, and bun, but after I had the pub burger I was hooked on pickled red onions. (I wonder how many people were introduced to pickled red onions at a restaurant 🤔 😉😁) Anyway, this summer, I made some quick refrigerator pickled red onions, and I almost always have a jar of them inthe fridge now. They are so good on burgers, salads, sandwiches, or just plain as a little side dish or snack. I think I need to can some pickled red onions!
The onions and juice are fantastic in Cole slaw!
I was. Panera Bread had served them with a sandwich.
I am so happy that I found your channel just in time for canning season! Your videos are very well put together; super easy to follow, and I love that you share your modifications and your reasoning behind them. Thanks for sharing, friends!
A new friend! Yay! Happy you found us 😊
I put a damp kitchen towel around my cutting board & no more tears! 🤗
Love this! They look delidious!!
This was wonderful!! I really want to make these.
Lovely to see a couple making these together. 💕 So lucky to have each other! Also, thanks for the recipe!
Super excited..I will be definitely doing this♥️ thanks for showing this process
beautiful onions. I'm going to have to try this.
Making them today supper excited
Great video, thank you for this one. Going to do these soon. I just upgraded to two steam canners and so happy I did.
Those are an inspiration 🙌.
Looks delicious.
Thank you 😊.
Nice work! And congrats on using a tool until it rusts out! That's a mark of a hard worker.
for the first time i tried pickled onions and looooove it...the taste is fantastic
Great idea. We had access to quite a few during the Covid lockdown, and in order not to waste, we pickled them as well. New fav' in this house.
We love onions, so will be doing these. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Totally going to try this! Its been on my to do list to pickle carrots and onions! Thank you
Alright! Hope you enjoy them
Good to watch you both can together.
I lovebwatching your channel. And ur garden :) I'm so envious.
I love 💕 picked onions!!
Try to add a little teaspoon of mustard seed, or cumin seed, or aniseed. Together with the peppercorns it gives a very nice taste.
Also a small twig of dill, or rosemary, or oregano, or thyme. The oregano combines perfect with chili if you use oregano in it as well.
Ohhh, this is right on time! We need to use/save ours or there's going to be a funny smell in the root cellar! Thanks y'all!
Oh good glad we could help
I am for sure going to try these this year! I have never even tasted them, but man do I love onions! Oh and I LOVE that music you played while you were canning them....I don't know what it is but that music just makes me happy and relaxed :)
thanks, this is a beautiful idea, would make a neat gift in a food basket of goodies for family!
A little trick that I use to keep the tears at bay! Leave the root end intact. It will help hold back those gasses. Cut off the stem end, peel and slice all the way to the root. Awesome recipe. I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work!
Looks awesome
It looks so easy when u do it
Thank you for showing me your recipe I wanted to know how to make for a long time
Got these in the canner right now! I’m excited! Every time I watch this I crack up laughing at Todd’s comment about “We could just eat these later” and his nostrils full of vinegar! 🤣
You can also dehydrate them and with a vitamix you can grind it into powder for onion powder. It’s great.
Looking good. I didn't make a batch anywhere near that size 😀. Just one large red onion, one jar. No cider vinegar in house, so I just used red. Poured the brine over raw onions like you did. I used honey instead of sugar, dill seed, caraway seed, white peppercorns, and Japanese pepper 🌶 flakes. I didn't think of allspice. Should have. Didn't hot bath the jar, so I probably won't have the shelf life of yours, but I'm okay with that. Should last me about 2 months.
Great video. I recently started to make my own pickled red onions. My secret for not tearing up when cutting onions. A super sharp knife - razor sharp.
You two are so cute and I enjoyed watching you both.
this made me cry.
Great video. I’ll have to try these. They sound so good. I love pickled stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Take care, see ya :)
Serve with some cilantro on shrimp tacos! Yummy
Great recipe and I hope it will work if I use some of the yellow onions I already have......yes, that's a question.
**TIP: I use to work in food service and one morning they asked me to prep and slice an entire case of onions. I was really worried but got to work on them, skated through the entire case without shedding ONE tear - I was amazed! There was a fan but it was behind me and forced the fumes away from my face. I think that's the first time I did onions without my eyes and nose running hysterically!
Great idea and so good on do many food items!!!
Love!!!
Oh they look so yummy
Pickled onions and the juice is fantastic in Cole slaw! I don't throw away the pickle juice either. Use it in place of regular vinegar for Cole slaw or other things.
You have another subscriber , love the recipe and the interaction between you both ,,,, I’ll use your link for Amazon , thanks 👍🌺
Thank you for sharing ❤😊
I can"t wait to make these. A great trick to avoid crying over onions, is to light a candle close to your cutting board. Two candles is even It really works! better
When I have extra onions I make a bread an butter brine an pickle them ..blessings
Making some canned red onions today. Ty for the inspiration. I'm gonna try adding a little picking seasoning to one and see how it tastes
Red pickled onions are yummy on salad too!
Okay, I’m new to canning, but have SO many red onions that I made this. I used pickling spice. Hope that’s okay. The brine only filled 5 jars, but that’s a great start. Can’t wait to taste these!! Thanks!!
Love your t-shirt Rachel!!!!
Me too!! Got it over at Silver Lake Sand Dunes in some tourist shop
My grama use to make them when I was little.i remember her having some on the table one time during dinner and I tried them and they were so good.
I bet these are delicious, too!
They funny they so humbled 🤗🤗👆👌👍
Lol @ Todd taking a big whiff of the brine. 😂😂😂
I've never successfully grown onions and have studied your onion videos in the hopes of changing that this year. 🤞 I followed the RUTH stout method for potatoes and was successful so, I'm hopeful this will too. Thanks for inspiring me to keep trying and getting better. Lots of love from NC.
Oh I sure hope you have great success, onions a very heavy feeders
Those are absolutely amazing beets! Costco 4.99 here in Ohio. Love them also.
Onions look great!
You should invest in a food slicer. One of the best purchases i have made.
you two are so cute!! such a great video!!
I also add about 1/2 tsp of oregano to each jar. Oh so good!
I love your house!
Nice video. Can't wait to make some. Nice hearing the Michigan accent (judging by your shirt.) I'm originally from Wyandotte, MI but have not been home in 11 years.
You guessed right, Michigan is our home
Love onions, i must try.
I did try. Yummy
Funny story…I just started pressure canning last September 2021. I had to change the gasket the other day! I wore out the original gasket already…May 2022….
if yu burn a cande when you are slicing onions, it helps with the tears. Love all your videos. Thank you
That's looks good
Love your videoes. Going to make this recipe. One idea I'm going so for the white or yellow onions, is make homemade onion rings, then freeze them.
Thanks this is great !!
You're welcome!
I so want to make these this year
We love onions here too.
Would you can them this way again?
The recipes that i can recall, pickling recipes with onions usually soak them in cold salt water before processing.
These sound delicious.
Thank you!
Family of 4 and we plant 500 onions. Last year they lasted till March and I had to buy 1 bag from the store. We were so close! I use onions in almost every meal. I haven't needed to freeze them yet.
Great video! I know it’s sad, but I never saw onions grown from the soil. Thank you for sharing the clips of you with the bulbs of onions that you harvested. New subbie.
Just for fun: put an onion on a jar filled with water with the roots down (those fibery things) and put it in front of a window.
Simply see how it grows... You can even eat the green, tastes onion/leak like, for in soup, salad or sauce.
And put a bottle of water next to it with one garlic knob on the top opening, that will start to grow as well, and green can be consumed too. Garlic will form a new bulb when you take care of it well, it can grow on hydro culture.
I use an OXO mandolin for ALL a kinds of canning processing as well as making kraut, etc! But a word of caution, I have sliced my thumb open when I am doing it a long time for huge batches of produce. SO, buy yourself some cut proof gloves (i call them my shark gloves). They are a GAME changer! And that mandolin is wonderful!
I do the trick where I add new veg to left over pickle juice all the time. Pickled beets, cornichons whatever, all have enough flavor for a second round and I'll throw cut carrots, radishes, beets whatever in there.
I have the same avocado lifter!
I love pickled red onions with the red wine vinegar with a little sugar.
Yes so good
I dehydrated red onions for the first time this year! I bet a red onion powder would be great too, for things like guacamole.
Hi Rachel absolutely love watching you and Todd you have inspired me so much to start preserving! Im giving this recipe a go today and out of curiosity just wondered how the vinegar brine goes with the metal lids over time?
Wonderful!♥
Wow 😎 I would use all the Onion Peel To Make Onion Oil !!!
I’m not sure if I would eat very many of these, but I know my kids would like them and I could give them for Christmas presents.
Rachel, now that you need a new water bath canner, you should look into getting a steam canner instead. I have been using a steam canner for many years, they are so much easier and cleaner to use.
Oh thank you, I'll definitely look into that
The sharper the knife, the less the tears!
I put toasted cumin in mine for Mexican stuff. Super good!
Yum
