Pickled Vidalia Onions Recipes

QUICK PICKLED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel and very thinly slice the onion. I like to use my mandoline set on the 1/8 inch setting. If your rings are very large, you can slice them in half.
• Heat the vinegar, water, and spices in a saucepan until it comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the sliced onions, giving everything a stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes, then pack the onions into a wide mouthed pint sized mason jar. Pour the liquid, including spices, over the onions. Make sure the onions are completely submerged, if you need more liquid, add a bit more vinegar. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate.
• Plan to use within a month or so.

PICKLED VIDALIA ONIONS RECIPE

Steps:

• Halve onions and slice thin, about 1/4 inch thick. Place into a bowl and cover with ice water; let rest for 30 minutes. Drain, pat dry and pack the onions into a clean quart sized Mason jar. Heat vinegar and sugar together until sugar is completely dissolved. Add remaining ingredients and let cool completely. Top onions with the dressing and refrigerate a minimum of 24 hours, or up to 3 or 4 days if possible, before using, as the flavor only improves as they sit. Keep refrigerated for about 4 months. Use as an appetizer, on salads, sandwiches, hamburgers or hotdogs, serve over beans, greens or chop and add to a wide variety of recipes.

PICKLED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Bring all ingredients, except onions, to a boil over medium high heat. Stir often.
• 2. Peel onions and slice into rings on your mandolin or slice with your knife. Separate ringlets.
• 3. Once boiling, remove pan from heat and place onions into hot vinegar mixture. Stir well and let sit for a few minutes to absorb and settle.
• 4. Place in your covered container of choice and refrigerate. The rings will really break down a lot leaving more room in your container. I leave mine for a good week before eating them.
• 5. These are great as a relish on beans, hot dogs or BBQ. I've always received many compliments on these. Y'all enjoy!!!
