Got some beautiful cippolinis at a local farmers' market today, and would like to pickle them. A mild vinegar or spicy result, not sweet. If they turn out like cocktail onions, I would have to use them in one-quart martinis. :smoking:

Hmmmmmmm...

Thanks,

Mike :suprise:

Mike,

You'll find exactly what you need in the Ball Blue Book. The recipe is listed as "onion pickles."

If you can't find it, let me know and I'll type it out for you.

It surely would be a terrible thing to die of low cholesterol!

Depending on how many about 3 cups of white vinegar, a cup of water, 2 tbsp salt, a couple dried Arbol Chilies (or fresh jalapenos) and a clove of garlic. Heat over medium flame to just before a boil and remove from flame. Let rest 3 minutes and pour over onions or peppers or......... Make sure you have enough liquid to cover them completely. I use mason jars and then the food saver with the jar vacuum attachment. I also drizzle a little olive oil on top before sealing and shake vigorously after it's sealed. Let sit in the refrigerator for a week or two and viola! I use the same technique with sport peppers, banana peppers, giardinera and some pickles. Works relatively effective and quite tasty plus unlike heat process pickling, you have a good amount of crispness remaining in the item being pickled. More like Clausen versus Vlassic.;)

Thanks to both of you. I'm going to try OldSchool's first, reads just like what I have in mind.

I always go with Clausen's, too. In the refrigerator case.
