Best 6 Pickled Plums And Red Onions Recipes

PICKLED PLUMS

Steps:

• Wash plums. Cut plums in half; pit. Remove root and stem ends from onions. Cut onion in half lengthwise; cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Pack plum halves and onion slices into hot, sterilized pint canning jars.
• In a large stainless-steel, enamel, or nonstick heavy saucepan, combine the water and vinegar. Bring to boiling. Add sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, star anise, and salt. Return to boiling, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
• Pour hot liquid over plums and onions in jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims; adjust lids.
• Process filled jars in a boiling-water canner for 5 minutes (start timing when water returns to boiling). Remove jars from canner; cool on wire racks.

PICKLED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
• Stuff onion slices into a pint-size Mason jar. Pour some of the boiling water over the onions. Let rest for 10 seconds. Pour out water through a mesh strainer, keeping onions in the jar. Repeat twice more to cook onions slightly.
• Measure vinegar into a bowl. Stir in salt and sugar until dissolved. Add peppercorns. Pour vinegar solution over onions. Seal and shake well.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving so that the flavor develops.

PICKLED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• Toast the coriander seed in a small, dry sauté pan over medium heat until its aroma is released, about 2 minutes. Add the mustard seed to the same pan and toast for 1 additional minute. Soak the onions in ice water, then drain and pat dry.
• In a small sauce pot, slowly bring the vinegars, sugar, bay leaves, and thyme to a boil. Adjust the flavor with water if too acidic. Pour this mixture over the onions in a medium, heat-proof bowl; allow to sit for 5 minutes. Drain off the excess vinegar, season with salt and pepper, then toss lightly with the olive oil. Store the picked onions in an airtight jar in the refrigerator until ready for use.
