Mmmm - I could just eat a pickled onion!

Peel them under the extractor fan (on full suck) if you have one or wear goggles!

Reading this made me think when we were young we sometimes had pickled onion sandwiches. Nothing else in them, just the pickled onions. Hope we didn’t breathe over anyone!

Ooh thanks GrannyGravy 13. That will definitely be getting tried out flowers

Nico97. Put onions in a bowl of tepid water and peel under the water, no tears (I make dozens of jars each year this way) .

Ha ha NannyPT - perhaps this heading should have gone under the political thread grin

Thanks Gonegirl It's on the list for tomorrow when I've been to pick up the onions, which I've had the devil's own job finding them ! Oh well, tissues at the ready sad grin

This is the best post I've read today what with all the other political rubbish going on! Let's all make pickled onions!!

You've got to do it today though. No messing about.

Gonegirl Wed 27-Nov-19 14:03:10

Yes. Sooner you than me though. All those tears.

Quick question: have I got time to pickle onions to use at Christmas ? Cheers all smile
