What can I pickle?

[FunSpunge]

Ive just pickled some homegrown beetroot and I have about half of the pickle left?

Is there anything else I could pickle with the remainder? Seems a shame to throw it

Jalapeños?

Onions, cabbage, make piccalilli. DH likes pickled eggs, I remember my gt gran pickling spring onions.

How do you make "the pickle" please.?

Another vote for pickled eggs. Courgette would be good too.

Ive just used this @bluebrushes

Can I use normal everyday onions? I could just peel a few layers off to make them smaller?
Also, will the pickle taste ok reheated tomorrow? Recipes say Ive got to let the onions sit in salt overnight

You can pickle almost ANYTHING. Sometimes I put slices of onion in with my beetroot pickle which is exciting because they go pink.

Pickled sliced onions are good, particularly red onions. I think you may need to blanch the sliced onions first.

I think it should be fine reheated the next day. It'll be more flavoursome!

@AwkwardSquad they sound amazing!

Re blanching, how long in boiling water? Will I still need to sit them in salt?

Going to google now!!

@Londonbum do you blanch yours when you put them in beetroot?

Thanks for the suggestions! Can't wait to try!

Never bothered blanching and all was well! Pickles look lovely!

watermelon rind. Boil it in the pickle solution for 15-30 min.

Just tried the onions - gorgeous! This jar is not going to last long at all!

Looks delicious! We really like the sliced onions with hard boiled eggs and ryvita. Scandi-style

pickled cucumber is great for summer
