Two weeks down, two to go. My recipe says keep for a month before opening. Image: Su Leslie 2019
Pickled onions are a favourite in this house; easy to make and so delicious.
Tom Petty was a favourite too. He’s one of those artists I have to remind myself is no longer with us.

Pickled onions is a new one for me. They look very tempting for me to try them. Four weeks in a jar that is indeed a long wait. Greetings from Canada

side ntoe 0 we are making our first batch of kombucha and it is slower than the directions said – supposed to see a film in ten days and it has been 20 and we just saw a little layer – but fun to try (Home depot had a kit for 40$)

The Big T makes kombucha and I think the fermentation time is really variable — temperature, etc. he made his from scratch and the scoby took forever. Worth the wait though.

Oh cool – may I ask a few questions ?
Does he change the type of tea he uses?
Does he add fruit juices for flavor
How much does he make at one time

Tom Petty….losing him was a heartbreaker. Too many gone too soon.

Do you think you could share your recipe for the pickled onions, Su?

I use this recipe from BBC good food, but with half the quantity of honey as I don’t really like sweet pickled onions. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1826697/pickled-onions

Thanks – I’ll check it out. I could scale back some of the sugar.

Su, I remember pickled onions! Supplanted by exotica like gherkins, in my case.
Thank you for your comment on today’s Cat Thinkies– I agree, but decided belatedly to block comments for this post. Last time the topic attracted some beastlies, and life, though long, is too short for that.

I understand. So far I’ve found WP a much less beastly place than other social media, but I think I occupy a particularly cozy corner.
I’ve never pickled gherkins, though I probably should as I find the bought ones far too sweet. But then I’d have to grow lots of cucumber I suppose 🤨

WP is so benign! I have only had four mean or worrying comments in 3 or 4 years. Need to keep it that way. Also control our own pickling:)

Yummy! I love Pickled onions. I love onion in everything actually. I hardly could wait a month. 😀 And I could listen to Tom Patty all day long. Thanks for the link to the recipe. By the way, very nice photo of your Pickled onions jar.

Thanks so much. I’m with you on the onions (and garlic too).
I’ve been listening to The Travelling Wilbury’s lately — Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison (plus the others, but they’re just a bonus).

Onion, garlic, curry and chillies… Any time for me. Same with Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison. Such incredible artists.

Pickled onions. Yum! I may have to give them a try, but I’ll cut back on the honey, too, or look for a different recipe.

I think you could quite happily skip the honey. I’m sure I have with this recipe. It helps to soften the malt vinegar, but if you’re ok with that, then leave sweetener out.

My father in law loves pickled onions! He says it’s perfect with fish and chips. 😄

I guess that’s a way of getting vinegar on your chips. I’m a cheese and pickled onion sandwich woman all the way.

Love them too. Love also onion chutney – with cheeses, I love the sweet-sour tang of onions and honey, just be easy on the sugary bit, it needs to give your taste buds a sensational feeling….
On a different note: What a handsome man Tom was – and the music is so relateable and ‚listenable‘…..

Agreed: I find so many foods just too sweet. It’s one of the reasons I make so much myself rather than buying pre-made.
I’ve been listening to The Travelling Wilbury’s lately — so many great talents in that band now gone 😦
