#Pickling purple onions free#
Yup, sugar free pickled onions do exist, and they are awesome! I eat pickled onions with breakfast almost every single day, because they brighten up so many dishes - more of that below! Simple IngredientsĪdding pickled red onions to even the simplest dish just adds something special, and guess what else? There is NO SUGAR added. Maybe it’s the tangy, sweet taste, maybe it’s the crunchy texture, or maybe it’s that beautiful pink color, but these pickled onions are a kitchen staple.
Tomorrow your mostly white onions will have transformed into some pink delights that will be magnetically attracted to your next lunch. Let this mixture cool on the counter for a bit, cover, and then store in the fridge overnight. One teaspoon of sugar would probably be a decent starting point for that option. For most of the other pickled goods on the site I don't add any sugar at all (see Pickled Jalapenos).īut taste buds vary so you can definitely add more sugar if you want a sweeter batch. It's also worth mentioning that I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so I like these best when they are barely sweetened. Pour the vinegar solution into the jar and add a single clove of garlic chopped in half and some cracks of black pepper. Since we are using vinegar for the pickling a non-reactive container will work best, i.e. Give them a quick toss so the rings separate from each other and stuff 'em in a Mason jar. Slice a quarter of the onion lengthwise and you'll end up with half moons that work well for sandwiches and tacos, but of course you are a free chopper so feel free to get creative.
#Pickling purple onions full#
It only takes about 3/4 of a normal-sized red onion to fill a pint-sized Mason jar full of pure zip. Meanwhile, chop up the rest of the onion. Kosher, sea, or pickling salt are usually recommended for pickling as table salt typically has additives that can negatively affect the brine. In a saucepan over medium heat bring 3/4 cup vinegar, 3/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of sugar to a light boil. You made those? They are one of those condiments that for some reason people don't expect to see in homes. In addition to livening up a wide range of Mexican dishes, these pickled onions also come with the side benefit of thoroughly impressing family and friends when you pull that pink jar out of the fridge. If you're ever hesitant to slice into a fresh onion just to use a single ring for your sandwich, you can now think of that as Step One to keeping a jar of these beauties in your fridge.
(Note: these instructions are not meant for long-term canning.) You can make a batch of delightful pickled onions faster than you can read this post. It's a super easy technique so give it a whirl if you're new to it. You'll find the video down below, right before the recipe box (or if you're on a desktop it will be at the top of the post). Update: Hey guys, I've been getting questions about these Pickled Onions so I added a video to the post.
