Pickled Sweet Onions
Are you ready for some really good news?
It’s grilling season!
And on top of that, we’ve got a super easy recipe for sharing at barbeques this year. Awesomely, these pickled sweet onions are tasty on all kinds of grilled things and they can be thrown together at the last minute. Also, adorning a jar of these with a personalized label means two things: the pickled onions might get eaten up since folks will know what they are, and you might get your jar back!
The simplest version of this recipe is super easy to make. It’s also very easy to dress up the recipe—just wander around your neighborhood with a pair of scissors and keep an eye out for edible herbs like rosemary, sage, lavender, hops, thyme, oregano, fennel, nasturtium, etc. Using red onions or adding a little beet juice will give your pickled onions a fun pink hue.
