We don't have much if anything mexican food wise in the UK but when I came across this I knew I had to try it. I bought a massive bag of onions the other day and copied this and they have come out amazing gonna do another lot this weekend thanks 👍
thx's for giving me inspiration, at the young age of 67 planted my first garden, and started canning...my problem is when my family wants to try something I lie and say it's not ready, it's just so nice sitting on my shelves. I know the reason to can was to have food, and preserve what we grew, but I'm so proud I want to stare at them for a few weeks/months.
thanks for including the brine measurements in your description. A lot of people talk about their measurements but never give them to you in a way that is easy to write out and duplicate.
Yes, definitely get yourselves a mandolin haha! I make pickled red onions and my Latino neighbors love them. To the jar I add a couple bay leaves, black pepper, 5 smashed garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, a couple pinches of dried Mexican oregano, a jalapeño sliced thin on the mandolin, and about 2 red onions also sliced thin on the mandolin. Then I add the juice of about 12 fresh limes and add white vinegar to cover everything in the jar. After about an hour, you’ll have perfect Mexican pickled red onions.
I believe the pint size? Whatever the most common size mason jar is, but you can certainly make more or less if you prefer and just adjust the ingredient amounts to your liking. No, you do not add any water.@@rhondasmithis
"A mix of recipes" - after my own heart! Just look at a bunch of recipes to get the basic idea of how it's done. Then I make something from what I have in the pantry! Thanks for the idea. I will put it on my list! I am making batches of soup now because, with the heat, my cellar stored vegies are sprouting.
Hi from Australia :) The gas in onions look for a source of water to cling to, this generally means your tear ducts are the closest water source it can find It can help having a bowl of water or even some wet tea towels around your prep space to minimise how much gets into your tear ducts :) thanks for the video
I definitely rock onion goggles when ever I'm making a large canning batch of anything with onion. My husband laughs but I get the job done without interruption!
One thing I'd recommend is to cut the onions long ways (with the lines). It ruptures less cell walls and in my experience is less likely to make you cry. I also like the look of them as strands of pickled onion rather than rings. Great video!
@@gd7681 It's a fact the Onions have long cells. I can't say for certain whether you're less likely to cry from cutting it long ways though, that's just my experience.
Yup, it's a fact. I learned it from a site that emphasizes science in food preparation. It was mentioned in an article about caramelizing onions. They will hold their shape better if you cut them from root to tip. When you cut them across the lines, they are weaker structurally and will turn to mush/jam.
You guys are one of my favorite TH-cam couples. You work so well together and make simple no nonsense informative videos. I was looking for a recipe for these onions to can. Thankfully you had just what I was looking for. Thanks!!
When I have extra onions, I cut them into little petals and bake them up, then dip them into a zesty sauce! It gives kind of a "blooming onion" experience without all the calories of the deep fried breading.
I am so happy that I found your channel just in time for canning season! Your videos are very well put together; super easy to follow, and I love that you share your modifications and your reasoning behind them. Thanks for sharing, friends!
You could make an onion marmalade! It freezes well too. 2 pounds red or yellow onions, sliced 2cloves of garlic minced 2 T. extra virgin olive oil ¾ cup granulated sugar ¾ cup balsamic vinegar 1 orange zest plus the juice of the orange 1 tsp. sea salt ½ tsp. pepper, crushed
Enjoyed your video! A couple of years ago, I got my first taste of pickled red onions on a pub burger at a Culver's restaurant. Most of the time, for YEARS, if I have a cheeseburger, I will just eat it plain because I just want to taste the meat, the cheese, and bun, but after I had the pub burger I was hooked on pickled red onions. (I wonder how many people were introduced to pickled red onions at a restaurant 🤔 😉😁) Anyway, this summer, I made some quick refrigerator pickled red onions, and I almost always have a jar of them inthe fridge now. They are so good on burgers, salads, sandwiches, or just plain as a little side dish or snack. I think I need to can some pickled red onions!
Great video. I recently started to make my own pickled red onions. My secret for not tearing up when cutting onions. A super sharp knife - razor sharp.
I can"t wait to make these. A great trick to avoid crying over onions, is to light a candle close to your cutting board. Two candles is even It really works! better
Great recipe and I hope it will work if I use some of the yellow onions I already have......yes, that's a question. **TIP: I use to work in food service and one morning they asked me to prep and slice an entire case of onions. I was really worried but got to work on them, skated through the entire case without shedding ONE tear - I was amazed! There was a fan but it was behind me and forced the fumes away from my face. I think that's the first time I did onions without my eyes and nose running hysterically!
Looking good. I didn't make a batch anywhere near that size 😀. Just one large red onion, one jar. No cider vinegar in house, so I just used red. Poured the brine over raw onions like you did. I used honey instead of sugar, dill seed, caraway seed, white peppercorns, and Japanese pepper 🌶 flakes. I didn't think of allspice. Should have. Didn't hot bath the jar, so I probably won't have the shelf life of yours, but I'm okay with that. Should last me about 2 months.
A little trick that I use to keep the tears at bay! Leave the root end intact. It will help hold back those gasses. Cut off the stem end, peel and slice all the way to the root. Awesome recipe. I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work!
Try to add a little teaspoon of mustard seed, or cumin seed, or aniseed. Together with the peppercorns it gives a very nice taste. Also a small twig of dill, or rosemary, or oregano, or thyme. The oregano combines perfect with chili if you use oregano in it as well.
Pickled onions and the juice is fantastic in Cole slaw! I don't throw away the pickle juice either. Use it in place of regular vinegar for Cole slaw or other things.
Okay, I’m new to canning, but have SO many red onions that I made this. I used pickling spice. Hope that’s okay. The brine only filled 5 jars, but that’s a great start. Can’t wait to taste these!! Thanks!!
Funny story…I just started pressure canning last September 2021. I had to change the gasket the other day! I wore out the original gasket already…May 2022….
Got these in the canner right now! I’m excited! Every time I watch this I crack up laughing at Todd’s comment about “We could just eat these later” and his nostrils full of vinegar! 🤣
I use an OXO mandolin for ALL a kinds of canning processing as well as making kraut, etc! But a word of caution, I have sliced my thumb open when I am doing it a long time for huge batches of produce. SO, buy yourself some cut proof gloves (i call them my shark gloves). They are a GAME changer! And that mandolin is wonderful!
Family of 4 and we plant 500 onions. Last year they lasted till March and I had to buy 1 bag from the store. We were so close! I use onions in almost every meal. I haven't needed to freeze them yet.
As I looked at the size of that bowl of onions and the amount and size of jars I said to myself no way are all those onions gonna fit in those jars! And that second you said hey we need more jars! Ha. Right. Nice video! Enjoy the onions!
I do the trick where I add new veg to left over pickle juice all the time. Pickled beets, cornichons whatever, all have enough flavor for a second round and I'll throw cut carrots, radishes, beets whatever in there.
We love onions here too. Would you can them this way again? The recipes that i can recall, pickling recipes with onions usually soak them in cold salt water before processing. These sound delicious.
Lol @ Todd taking a big whiff of the brine. 😂😂😂 I've never successfully grown onions and have studied your onion videos in the hopes of changing that this year. 🤞 I followed the RUTH stout method for potatoes and was successful so, I'm hopeful this will too. Thanks for inspiring me to keep trying and getting better. Lots of love from NC.
I am for sure going to try these this year! I have never even tasted them, but man do I love onions! Oh and I LOVE that music you played while you were canning them....I don't know what it is but that music just makes me happy and relaxed :)
Pretty ain't they. They gotta be good. I made a run of bread and butter pickles not long ago and chopped up some red onions in them. I enjoyed the onions and peppers I added as much as the pickles.
I’m not sure if I would eat very many of these, but I know my kids would like them and I could give them for Christmas presents. Rachel, now that you need a new water bath canner, you should look into getting a steam canner instead. I have been using a steam canner for many years, they are so much easier and cleaner to use.
An eastern European way to do it, is to peel the onion, cut off the root end and put them in a brine barrel whole. Yup, whole. Just like when you pickle full heads of cabbage in brine barrel. Your brine can be your standard 2% solution, or a combination of vinegars and salt, spices etc. Be sure to submerge and enjoy when fermented. When that is depends on the quantity and fermenting conditions. Because they are whole, they take quite a bit longer. It takes me about 6 weeks to get a good pickle on 5 gallon barrel (or bucket) of whole onions. 6 to 8 weeks in a 25 gallon barrel with 6 - 8 full heads of cabbage (cored).
Cut the onions near a flame. Either near a gas stove with the burner on or light a candle wear you are cutting. I've near done the candle, but cutting them by the gas stove with the burner on works perfectly. No tears.
Nice video. Can't wait to make some. Nice hearing the Michigan accent (judging by your shirt.) I'm originally from Wyandotte, MI but have not been home in 11 years.
I make a broccoli salad with pickled onions. You pulse in your food processor broccoli stems and floretttes so it is the consistency of pie dough before you combine it into a ball. Fresh Pickle slivered red onions in salt and lemon juice for about ten minutes. Drain (rinse if desired). Add pickled onions to broccoli and include some shelled roasted sunflower seeds. Add mayonnaise lemon juice and a touch of garlic powder. Stir. Salt and pepper to taste. Let it marinade for 30 mins. Serve. Dried cranberries make a different and nice addition too. Give it a try!
Next time, use safety glasses and a paint respirator. My husband donned both of those while cutting a ton of onions for us to freeze for our French onion soup! It worked really well.
If you cut onions from pole-to-pole (the top to the root) instead of around the equator they won't release as much of the enzyme that causes eye irritation. You get half-moons instead of rings but they are less stringy.
A dull knife smashes rather than slices, doing more damage to the onions' cells and thereby releasing more of the tear-inducing compound. You can also try chilling your onions. It takes foresight, but chilling peeled, halved onions in the fridge or in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes can lessen the chemical's effect.

I would like to have both of them as neighbor.
thanks for including the brine measurements in your description. A lot of people talk about their measurements but never give them to you in a way that is easy to write out and duplicate.
I know it has been years but I just dill pickled some red onions as I don't like sweet pickles, and they are AMAZING!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Great video, I hope your deployed children are staying safe out there, god bless them for serving!!! Thanks
Man I do love me some red onions! I often eat one raw with my meals, shout out to my fellow onion lovers
Jewnas123 Seems to be giving you a hairy chin
I eat raw oingon raw garlic and a raw chili with my meals
@jewnas123 I do that with Vidalia onions! I slice one up with peas, cornbread, and potatoes! 😋😋

What size jar does this make? Do you put in any water? TIA

Hi from Australia :)

Hi guys, try lighting a candle and sit it near your work area when cutting onions , works for me! Great video.
One thing I'd recommend is to cut the onions long ways (with the lines). It ruptures less cell walls and in my experience is less likely to make you cry. I also like the look of them as strands of pickled onion rather than rings. Great video!

Nice work! And congrats on using a tool until it rusts out! That's a mark of a hard worker.
You can also dehydrate them and with a vitamix you can grind it into powder for onion powder. It’s great.
Good to watch you both can together.
We love onions, so will be doing these. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
This was wonderful!! I really want to make these.
When I have extra onions I make a bread an butter brine an pickle them ..blessings
Pickled onions and the juice is fantastic in Cole slaw! I don't throw away the pickle juice either. Use it in place of regular vinegar for Cole slaw or other things.
Ohhh, this is right on time! We need to use/save ours or there's going to be a funny smell in the root cellar! Thanks y'all!
Oh good glad we could help

You should invest in a food slicer. One of the best purchases i have made.
Making some canned red onions today. Ty for the inspiration. I'm gonna try adding a little picking seasoning to one and see how it tastes
Haven't tried this but have read if you refrigerate them overnight, they won't make you cry!
Red pickled onions are yummy on salad too!
if yu burn a cande when you are slicing onions, it helps with the tears. Love all your videos. Thank you
Great video, thank you for this one. Going to do these soon. I just upgraded to two steam canners and so happy I did.
Love this! They look delidious!!
Making them today supper excited
You two are so cute and I enjoyed watching you both.
this made me cry.
Totally going to try this! Its been on my to do list to pickle carrots and onions! Thank you
Alright! Hope you enjoy them
Thank you for your two children serving in the military!
👍
Our pleasure! We're honored and proud
Great idea. We had access to quite a few during the Covid lockdown, and in order not to waste, we pickled them as well. New fav' in this house.
It looks so easy when u do it
Those are absolutely amazing beets! Costco 4.99 here in Ohio. Love them also.
Onions look great!
As I looked at the size of that bowl of onions and the amount and size of jars I said to myself no way are all those onions gonna fit in those jars! And that second you said hey we need more jars! Ha. Right. Nice video! Enjoy the onions!
Super excited..I will be definitely doing this♥️ thanks for showing this process

I love 💕 picked onions!!
They funny they so humbled 🤗🤗👆👌👍
I love pickled red onions with the red wine vinegar with a little sugar.
Yes so good
Love your videoes. Going to make this recipe. One idea I'm going so for the white or yellow onions, is make homemade onion rings, then freeze them.
Lol @ Todd taking a big whiff of the brine. 😂😂😂

Sounds delicious
I dehydrated red onions for the first time this year! I bet a red onion powder would be great too, for things like guacamole.
thanks, this is a beautiful idea, would make a neat gift in a food basket of goodies for family!
Wow 😎 I would use all the Onion Peel To Make Onion Oil !!!
A meat slicer makes slicing large amounts of onions go by in minutes. I only use a mandolin when I'm just doing small amounts of slicing.
Looks awesome
You gotta cut the onions root to top to avoid bursting all the stuff that makes you cry 😂
Love onions, i must try.
I did try. Yummy
Next time, use safety glasses and a paint respirator. My husband donned both of those while cutting a ton of onions for us to freeze for our French onion soup! It worked really well.
Thanks for the tip!
I love your house!
Thank you for sharing ❤😊
You could dry them and make onion powder.
Great idea
Good idea, dried herbs and spices can keep for about a year and add a quick hit of flavour to any dish, or sauce.
If you cut onions from pole-to-pole (the top to the root) instead of around the equator they won't release as much of the enzyme that causes eye irritation. You get half-moons instead of rings but they are less stringy.
Onions for pickling if you slice from end to end you get less tearing and better texture of onion.
A dull knife smashes rather than slices, doing more damage to the onions' cells and thereby releasing more of the tear-inducing compound. You can also try chilling your onions. It takes foresight, but chilling peeled, halved onions in the fridge or in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes can lessen the chemical's effect.
Poor Todd, I've done that before,and it hurt's ! God Bless :)
