Mrs. Wheelbarrow's Pickled Green Onions image

Green onions, or scallions, make a tangy accompaniment when pickled. A pickled onion is a classic side to the British Ploughman's Lunch. Pair pickled onions with meatloaf or sausages. Chop one of the onion pickles into a tablespoon each of sour cream and mayonnaise to make a killer tartar sauce for fish. Mix with a teaspoon of mustard and mayo and slather on a turkey and Cheddar sandwich. Or use them as swizzle sticks in a Bloody Mary for a special eye-opening cocktail!

Time P19DT17h37m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1-pint canning jars with lids and rings
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seed
4 whole allspice berries
2 ½ pounds green onions, trimmed and cut into 3-inch lengths
3 cups water
3 cups white vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
  • Stir peppercorns, celery seed, mustard seed, and allspice berries together in a small bowl. Divide spices evenly between the prepared canning jars.
  • Pack onions vertically into jars, alternating tips-up and tips-down to fit onions snugly.
  • Bring water, vinegar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Pour hot liquid over onions into jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area. Let onions pickle for at least 1 month before eating.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pickles turned out really mushy. I'm going to have to try this recipe again.

These pickles are way too sour for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pickles didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These pickles are a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think they would be perfect for someone who likes a little bit of heat.

I'm not a huge fan of pickles, but these are really good. They're not too sour or vinegary, and they have a nice crunch to them.

These pickles are the perfect addition to any summer cookout. They're refreshing and tangy, and they go great with grilled meats and vegetables.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of vinegar. But I'm so glad I did! The pickles are delicious and the vinegar flavor is not overpowering at all.

These pickles are so easy to make and they taste so much better than store-bought pickles. I'll never buy them again!

I love that this recipe uses vinegar instead of oil. It makes the pickles much healthier and lower in calories.
