For the Dinner date, I made a version of Kay's Auntie Jean's pickled onions recently.
Apparently Kay's Auntie Jean is now 96 years old. This is a heritage recipe indeed!
One medium/large onion sliced
1 red pepper sliced
2/3 c white vinegar
1/2 c water
6 tbs granulated sugar
2 1/2 tsp salt
Boil vinegar, water, sugar, salt in a medium saucepan until dissolved. Cool. Add to a jar of sliced onions and peppers. Refrigerate 2-4 days or longer.
I actually misread and boiled all the ingredients including the onions and peppers together for 10 minutes then cooled and jarred it. It tasted good even before I refrigerated it.
Thanks for sharing Kay!
The horse has a long neck. Looks like a human portrait in a way
ReplyDeletePickled onions? Yes, please! I'm glad it turned out good for you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue eyes!
ReplyDeleteSo great to know. Co-workers are always talking they need a recipe like this. I am sure I would need less sugar. Looks like a great way to use up those leftover onions around.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! Love the art too! Wonderful art piece!
ReplyDeleteLove the pony!
ReplyDeleteRecently, I made fridge pickles because I just can't get a big cucumber eaten. They turned out rather tart, but that's the way I like them. A great summer side with meals.
That's a lovely horse Christine. Are foals blue eyed in real life? I love those blue eyes. And I think I need to make some pickled onions. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteErika this horse belongs to my sister in law, it really does have blue eyes!
DeleteLove the foal. 96 is a great age! Have a fun day, hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteI can't draw horses to save my soul. Well done. And I might have to try those onions. They sound delicious!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful horse, the onions look yummy.
ReplyDeleteHappy you dropped by my blog today.

Pretty horse and I like the look of that recipe. I love pickled onions!
ReplyDeleteWe love pickled onions and cucumbers. The recipe is very similar.
ReplyDeleteLove your horse.
A beautiful blue eyed foal.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing the recipe.
All the best Jan
My daughter made pickled carrots and they were delish. I bet the onions are also.
ReplyDeleteLove the colt.
I used to do the cucumbers, onions and tomatoes in the vinegar and sugar...loved it. Not fixed it in years. Great painting.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of anything pickled except for pickles themselves, but I loved your colt painting, Christine.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I don't think every had pickled onions.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
Lindo caballo y gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to make pickled onions, but without the pepper. If it was a sweet pepper, I think I would like to try this myself, since I have all the ingredients except the pepper.
ReplyDeleteThe foal is fantastic. I enjoyed your Post. Thank you for sharing.

I'll try pickle onions... sound tasty
ReplyDeleteLove the blue-eyed horse! Pickled onions are one of my favorite condiments.
ReplyDeleteA handsome foal in celebration of the new life of Spring. And pickled onions. I eat them from a jar(store bought) all of the time. Never thought of making my own, but I like this recipe and will try it. Thank you for sharing ...
