Title: pickled onions
Post by: chrissie B on August 04, 2007, 13:17

Hello do you need to grow a special type of onion to do pickled onions  :?: , we do get  small onions here but they dont seem to have that crunch but a bit of a rubbery out side , we have tryed various methods but still rubbery.

I find shallots much easier to grow for pickling.

Paris Silverskin is your standard pickling onion variety but I can't see why any hard onion shouldn't work for you.  You must brine any of them first though.
