I love these pickled pear onions. I’ve done them as refrigerator pickles but never canned for the pantry. I’ve added this to my 2024 canning list. Thanks for the inspiration and recipe link!
Oh those look fantastic! So much better homemade as to store bought. I would keep the brine and put it in the fridge with some hard boiled eggs in it and after a week or so you have some nice pickled eggs. I have noticed last few years those pickled onions from the store just are not the same as when we were kids at Christmas time and mom would put out trays of cheese and onions etc. Can be a little time consuming peeling the onions like when I do Frog Balls ( brussel sprouts) but well worth the effort. Kitchen looks great Carter and as always so nice to see you. Cheers!
Hey, Sheila! One of these days, I'm going to have to put on my big girl pants and try a pickled egg! I have no idea why I have this aversion to even trying them, but I think it's high time, don't you?
Good to see you, Connie! The kitchen is coming along. I did get the rangetop last week, but the installation process ruined the new drawers below, so now I'm missing those. Hopefully soon!
Thank you Carter. Kitchen looks good. Did you relocate the sink? Love your new backsplash. I know you are ready for it it be complete. Always save my brine never know what you can make. How about soaking mini mozzarella balls for just a short time? Or making a tart/spicy giardiniera. I think a lot of people don't entertain at home because of this "perfect home look" from social media or thinking their food isn't "restaurant" quality. Back in the day everyone brought something for a pot luck and we played cards or games. No one could afford to go out. ha ha We were 27 degrees last night in North Texas. Glad I didn't jump the gun on gardening. Have a great week.
Good to see you, Donna! The main sink is still in the same place. I added a very small prep sink to the island, primarily so I could wash my hands while cooking. Love your ideas for using the leftover brine! More good things to put on a platter. I hope entertaining at home will come back. I think we're all more critical of our own homes than others are. We definitely do a semi-potluck here. We have 3 other couples with whom we get together often. The hostess will generally do the main dish, a side and an appetizer. The other 3 couples are responsible for either a second appetizer, a dessert or a salad. Everyone brings what they're drinking. It couldn't be easier or more relaxed. It's certainly far cheaper than going out these days! You were chilly last night! Glad you held off on the garden too. What's your average last frost date?
We always have grain free chips and roasted red pepper hummus in the house! Kitchen looks nice but I am sure you are ready for it to be totally done and everything in its new place!... ps.. little side note... Did a big batch of sausage and hamburger today and tomorrow is ugly chicken and your split pea soup with ham recipe. Been really keeping my canner busy lately so I just ordered more lids and your code sure did come in handy so Thank You 🤗🤗
The hummus and chips sound so good, Jodi! I'm not sure how I could keep my husband from sneaking into it. He has found all of my hiding spots! You will be so happy to have the sausage and hamburger on your shelf. And ugly chicken. From chicken salad to enchiladas to chicken soup, it's always a winner. HUGE timesavers! David loves the split pea soup. Hope you do too! Thank you so much for using my code for the lids. The viewer support is quite humbling.
Thanks, Kay! This is mid-process on the kitchen update. There is still a good bit to be done. Once it's finished, I will do a tour. But yes, what you can see in this shot is new.
Those look so good!! Thanks Carter. We love pickled onions in my family. Another quick one for the list. 😊take good care! P.S. your island with the little sink is perfect! I'm also loving the backslash!!
Good to see you, Shannon! The kitchen is slowly coming along. I'm just getting to use the island prep space, and I love it. Can't wait to show you the whole thing, if it ever gets finished!
They look great. You mentioned using Brussel sprouts in a refrigerator pickle, do you have a recipe for that. I'm watching from the UK , love your videos.
Whatever brine I have leftover. Usually a 3:1 vinegar to water ratio. It may or may not have sweetener in it. Whatever spices you like. @@jeanhelliwell8160
I think the last time I bought them they were 299 a lb. I thought maybe it might be easier to find, I rarely see the pearl onions in the store@@growandpreserve
I'm curious as to why you didn't just put the peeled onions in the jars, then add the hot brine, to cover them? Is there a reason they need to cook in the brine, before canning?
When you use an onion instead of an olive they call it a "gibson"... i always thought it was strange they have a whole different drink name just for changing the garnish lol
@@growandpreserve our foods are going up slowly. But we pay alot less than you guys for real food here. And remember they are not allowed to sell us any GMO foods here, so I don't have to worry about that either. We pay more for processed foods. It's the other way around in the usa. Your processed foods are cheaper than your real food.
I love these onions in beef stew after they are pickled
That sounds awesome!

Great, Sheree! Good to see you.
Pickel crisp will keep the onions crisp and keep the color as well😊
Yum 😋
New kitchen looking great! Love your backsplash and the gold!

Thanks, Mary! It's coming along. Ready for it to be done!
My step dad put these onions in his drinks, when I was a kid.
But I like the idea of putting them in a beef roast that someone else suggested.
Yummy idea, Connie!
So happy to have a new canning suggestion! I’ll give them a try!!
Great, Debbie!
I have bought the pearl onions in the freezer case ..and just pickle one jar at a time for the fridge. Delicious
Yum. Nice idea.

@@growandpreserve 100% yes
Carter, your kitchen is so bright, and love the new appliances. Thank you for another great video, always creative ideas.

Thanks again Carter for a great video!
Thanks for being here, Vicki!
This is such a common food in the UK lol
Tip try using malt vinegar they are amazing. It's how ours are sold in the UK.
I saw that when I was researching. They seem to be popular on the ploughman's lunch you mentioned to me awhile back.
@@growandpreserve they go on any salad here but yes it's definitely on a ploughman's. They are always in my cupboard and pantry lol
Now they'll be in mine too! 😁@@samstevens7888
@@growandpreserve yum. Next time try the malt vinegar it's more zingy.
I will!@@samstevens7888

Is this your updated kitchen? Surely looks like it. Thanks for the fun recipe today, looks like a great idea for entertaining.

Hey, Jean! No recipe for quick pickling brussels. I'm just quartering and storing them in the brine. I like them in my salads.
@@growandpreserve ok. Thankyou. I love Brussels. What brine do you use, how long do they store.
Whatever brine I have leftover. Usually a 3:1 vinegar to water ratio. It may or may not have sweetener in it. Whatever spices you like. @@jeanhelliwell8160
Carter you look amazing in this video. Not sure if different lighting or ??, but regardless you look amazing! Love this! Thanks so much!!❤
Thank you so much, ArkansasSquaw!
I wonder if you could use onions set starts. They are just baby onions?
I don't know why not. Not sure of the cost?
I think the last time I bought them they were 299 a lb. I thought maybe it might be easier to find, I rarely see the pearl onions in the store@@growandpreserve
Not bad! Great idea. @@tammynevil7852
I'm curious as to why you didn't just put the peeled onions in the jars, then add the hot brine, to cover them? Is there a reason they need to cook in the brine, before canning?
Because I didn't want the onions to have the raw onion bite.
❤
Thanks for being here, Buckley!
Bloody Mary approved! Kitchen is looking wonderful.
Thanks, Darla! So good to see you!
When you use an onion instead of an olive they call it a "gibson"... i always thought it was strange they have a whole different drink name just for changing the garnish lol
Right?! It's actually named after some guy. Who knew?
Oh and a jar of these pickled onions in the UK is less than £1.50 for a 500ml jar. You lot pay so much for food it's so bad.
Lucky you! We are paying more and more for food everyday here.

Indeed! Our commercial food here is a nightmare. All the more reason to grow and preserve our own!@@samstevens7888
