fluffyknickers Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am pickling some onions and wondered how long before they are ready to eat? Thanks Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 usually you need to leave them for about a month depending on the recipe. Were they hot or cold pickled. I think hot ones can be eaten straight away and cold ones take a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 The ones I have done so far were cold pickled - i just peeled them and wacked them in sterlised jars and covered in vinegar - so will try them in a month. In the past I have also made balsamic pickled onions that I cooked - they were amazing. I have loads of vinegar left and onions so going to do some more today.

Chucky Mama Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Silly question but can you use jars with the rubber bits in like Kilner jars or is the rubber an issue with the vinegar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 We use big kilner jars for pickles and they are fine but you do have to replace the seals the next time because they smell very pickley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
