Onion pickling question

« on: February 24, 2014, 09:56 »

In one of Vals books there is a recipe for pickling onions. The first thing to do is soak them in brine for a few days. Being an inquisitive sort I wondered if anyone new why you do this.

Regards, WG

The salty brine draws out some of the liquid from the onion - in theory this means that they should stay firmer in the vinegar.
