Q. What better a sight than a 10kg bag of peeled pickling onions?
A. 5 bags!!!
-
Goodness you must like pickled onions haha, did you peel them all?
-
No Snowdrops, I buy them ready peeled. The level of demand from my lovely "Chutney Chompers" is such that I can't peel enough in the time available. So I have to accept, (and largely absorb) the increased cost in order to produce the required quantity!
-
Are they dry skinned (why home made pickled onions stay crunchy for ages) or skinned using boiling water which IMO cooks the outside starting them off to a soggy commercial pickle onion fate ?
-
They don't even see hot water, and are beautifully crunchy even after 12 months, which is why demand is so high in this area!
-
Following a very busy day in the kitchen, they're now all safely in jars!
It took from 08.30 till 15.00, but I slept rather well last night!
-
After so much bragging :D don't you think you should tell us your recipe? :lol: :lol:
