Pickled onion

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to pickle onions for the winter? Prepare all the ingredients for the preparation. It can be done throughout the year, having fresh onions on hand. But it’s better, of course, to do canning during the harvest season, when all the vegetables are juicy, tasty and rich in nutrients.

2. STEP 2

   

   You need to immediately prepare the jars for preparation. It is better to use small jars so that after opening the product is not stored for a long time and can be eaten immediately. Wash the jars with soda and sterilize in a water bath, oven or microwave. One of the convenient methods is in the oven, this way you can quickly sterilize a large number of jars. For liter jars, 15 minutes at a temperature of 150 degrees is enough. Wash the lids, boil and dry.

3. STEP 3

   

   If the onions are small, and the jars can accommodate the entire onions, then the onions can be pickled whole. But if the bulbs are large and the jars are small, then the bulbs can be cut into pieces or rings, feathers, as you like. For contrast, you can take white and red onions.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onions, cut into quarters or otherwise.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place it tightly in sterile jars, add peppercorns, cloves and bay leaves. Add any other spices if desired. Pour boiling water over the onions, as much as will fit in the jars (I usually boil with a reserve, about 1.5 liters for this amount of onions), cover with lids and leave for 10 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then pour the water into a saucepan, add salt and sugar. Bring water to a boil and pour in vinegar. Keep the marinade on the fire for a couple more minutes, turn off the heat.

7. STEP 7

   

   Immediately pour the marinade over the onions in the jars so that it completely covers the onions and reaches the hangers of the jars. Roll up the jars with lids, let them cool covered with a warm blanket at room temperature and store them in a cool pantry. Pickled onions in jars without sterilization are ready. Bon appetit!

While I was rolling up the tomatoes, I decided to prepare some pickled onions at the same time. I bought specially small onions so that it would be beautiful and convenient. I used the recipe for 1 kg. Onions we got these jars, two half liter and one seven hundred ml. Peeling such a quantity of onions is quite a challenge, so I saved myself as best I could: I put the peeled onions in a bowl of cold water, and after each onion I also rinsed the knife with cold water. I changed the water in the bowl periodically. I liked the taste of the marinade; the salt and sugar were balanced and the amount of vinegar was optimal. You also need to take into account that the onion will absorb salt and sugar and the marinade will taste weaker. My bay leaves were small, as I like, and while I was cooking the marinade I added a few pieces of hot pepper. So in winter there will be a delicious snack for the holiday table. Thanks for the recipe!
