Pickled red onions

For some reason I bought three red onions for making the pickled nectarines, I don't know why. I don't normally use red onions in my cooking, I prefer sweet onions. So, I had a lot of left over onion that I needed to do something with.

I found a recipe for pickling them (and if you haven't realized I really do love just about everything pickled) at Closet Cooking here.

Because I had sooo much onion I chopped them up and put them in a half-gallon jar (just like I did to the nectarines, I guess it is a lucky thing that I have so many empty kimchi jars) and I quadrupled the recipe.


Both jars are cooling down on my counter right now, waiting to go into the fridge.

Looks good! These pickled red onions go great in sandwiches or on tacos or even just snacking on them!

I just want to know exactly what type of vinegar everyone is using to make these (?) I don't like red wine vinegar...too tart. So do the pickled onions taste tart if you use red wine vinegar???

Hi 50doglover,
Thank you for visiting my blog. As you can see in the post I linked to the original recipe by Kevin from Closet Cooking. He wrote that you can use any vinegar you like. I think if you pick a vinegar that you think would make your onions too tart that you could heat the onions and dissolve some sugar into the vinegar to make it less sour.
