Pickled Onions and Eggs!

[Munz]

yes u can tell xmas is here! DH wants to pickle his own stuff this year - any ideas how to do it - was thinking jar, onions vingear chuck em in and leave it all??

Have a look at this . This is the traditional method, it's not quite as simple as bunging the onions and vinegar into a jar but it's not too difficult. Just takes time.

My dad used to grow and pickle his own onions and he didn't bother with salting them first - they always came out OK (but pretty strong). He used to sterilise the jars with boiling water, throw in the peeled onions (you want either shallots or pickling onions) and some pickling spices tied in some muslin, cover with vinegar, put the lid on and leave them. He would only leave them for about 2 weeks but that makes for a really strong pickle!

No idea about pickled eggs though.
