continue on to my recipe for Pickled Onions and more pictures to make you hungry.
Ingredients
- Yellow Onions - 4 Large ( thinly sliced )
- Red Bell Pepper - 1 Large ( chopped )
- White Vinegar - 1 1/2 Cups
- Hot Water - 1 Cup
- Sugar of choice - 3 Tbsp
- Pickling Spice - 1 Tbsp
- Bay Leaves - 2-3 Pieces
- Sea Salt - 1/2 Tsp
- Cheese Cloth with string - 1 piece
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan add onions, red peppers, vinegar, sea salt, sugar, pickling spice in cheese cloth, and water then bring to a boil on medium to high heat for 20 minutes or until tender.
2. Remove from heat have your mason jars cleaned and ready to use.
3. Start filling your mason jars cleaning the tops to remove any sauce then place lids and rims on and tighten each one. You can boil mason jars in hot water for 5 minutes if your onion pickles wasn't hot enough when bottled to seal lids.
4. Let onion pickles go to room temperature then check each lid to see if they are sealed, if so store in cool storage, if not store in fridge until all eaten.
5. Serve with burgers, Jiggs dinner or boiled dinner, sandwiches or whatever you like.
Please note:
If your pickled onions is not hot when you are ready to bottle them you must boil them after you put the lids on then put them in a water bath for five minutes. Water bath is when you bring a boiler of water to a boil and place all mason jars in the bath and cover for five minutes so they seal properly.

We need to take a little more time in our busy lives to slow down and get back to the basic, stop spending so much money on take out, years ago people had big families and they made and did everything. Ok Before you say it; yes many of our mothers didn’t work at a income job but they worked very hard providing for their families.
I’m just saying” there are big rewards in making your own food, preparing meals and bottling your own pickles, soup and jams. Believe me I’ve been doing this for many years and you can ask anyone that know me or my children they will say the same thing I always made sure a cooked meal was on the table. I worked many hours away from my home, took my kids to their sports and music, but at the end of the day if I didn’t prepare the night before I would cook that day, just something don’t have to be fantastic.
These meals I have on my website is an example of the way our moms and our grandparents cooked years ago and they only had so much food to go along way. Look at this recipe for Pickled Onions, this is so easy and low in cost and it makes five bottles of pickles. You can store in your cold storage or in your fridge and enjoy everyday or when you like too.
