I've left my Spring Onions in too long and not they're the size of shallots. Can I use them as pickled onions?

If they have formed a small bulb they are definatly OK. If no bulb then I suspect that they are OK but I have never tried that.

Not sure about pickling them - but mine do the same - seem to bulb up all at once.

Just slice them into a salad - still nice spring onions

I've got tons though, even after giving them away. I'll try to pickle and see what happens. x

I too have pickled my surplus spring onions they were fine. It's a good way of preserving the excess spring onions without having to eat daft amounts in a short timescale.
