PINK PICKLED ONIONS

An addictive new (to me) substance that I can't seem to stop eating. Fantastic on tacos/tortillas, hamburgers/dogs, as a relish to smoked or barbecued meats, on salads, in salsas, and just plain good straight from the jar. From epicurious/Bon Appetit.

WILDLY PINK PICKLED RED ONIONS



Wildly Pink Pickled Red Onions image

Wildly pink onions... these sound like just the thing to top a salad, a sandwich or even a creamy winter potaot soup with (diced of course LOL). Chef Tory McPhail of Commander's Palace shared the recipe for these wildly pink onions in The Times-Picayune. I think I'll be canning into pint jars for us though. Love the grnadine idea - that'll turn 'em pink for sure.
