These are absolutely one of the best things. They require almost no effort and if you are even moderately decent in the kitchen you can make about five kinds of them. On that last note, I will tell you how. The pickling liquid. Any onion will be pink if you add a small sliver of beetroot, literally almost none at all one about the size of a single one of the onion rings. Recipes below, just toss it in and yes you can just eat whatever you toss in, in fact, doing so it is awesome.
Sweet: Also add 2-4 tsp of honey. That is it. Any sweet fruit is also welcome apples, pear, and watermelon recommended.
Sour (Double sour): Lemon or Lime peel. Even better dried bergamot
Herbal: Parsley Sage, Rosemary, and thyme! Also Tarragon, fennel, or any mint.
Spicy: Any hot chilli powder and you can add a lot and I mean A LOT make it a past for all I care. I do,

Adam, be careful about reusing pickling solutions that you made pickles in before. The osmotic action of salt and sugar will gradually raise the pH as water comes out of new vegetables or fruit, and increase the likelihood of creating an environment that s hospitable to mold and yeasts. I made a batch of umeboshi with a standard salt and citric acid quantity, and used some of the rendered juices to start a new batch, bottling some of the leftover juice. After bottling the juice from the second batch, I left both bottles in my cupboard for a few weeks before checking on them. The first bottle was still clean and clear, but the second bottle had blue mold and cloudy strings of bacteria growing in it. Consider pointing this out in your podcast this weekend, please.

i once absent-mindedly cut onions by the latitude instead of longitude for making i don't wanna say, and when i later bit into them, they were that melt-in-your-mouth consistency, almost like a jam. that made me realize that slicing direction matters, when you have to decide whether you want them to keep their structure and/or crunch; or you want them to have that melt-in-your-mouth feel. i suppose it's like slicing meat along or against the grain (i don't eat meat, so just assuming)

I love pickled onions. 1 dl water, 1 dl apple vinegar. 2 tablespoons of honey, 0. 5 dl sugar, 4-5 big red onions sliced lengthways.
Heat up everything but the onions and let the sugar and honey dissolve over medium heat.
When dissolved, add the onions, turn off the heat, put on the lid and let it sit on the stove for a minimum of 10 mins.
Lasts a few months or untill I eat it.
Also, hellofresh is pretty awesome. I've gotten a lot of inspiration.

Kind of surprised you didn't cover fermented pickled onions. I mean, you kind of did, but you absolutely don't need to go through the trouble of sterilization and sealing. Onions, water, and salt, leave it on the shelf for a week or so, depending on the temperature in your house. Then stick it in the fridge.
In my opinion, the lactic acid and other fermentation products produce a much tastier result than acetic acid and sugar.

My pickled onions tend to get a more deep purple color than turn pink. I use the half vinegar half water technique, sometimes 1/4 white 1/4 apple 2/4 water. I've got no idea why ngl. I've followed multiple recipes, tried a few things, always come out a very deep purple, they taste completely fine and delicious, but I've never gotten even CLOSE to that bright pink.

My sister's recipe for pickled onions (she's a chef):
Liquid enough to cover the onions. 75% of that should be vinegar, the other 25% is water.
Equal parts sugar and salt.
Refrigerate over night.
One of the best, simplest things you can make. I had to play with ratios a bit to suit to my taste, but this is your best starting point.

I enjoy making my onions with 2 parts orange juice and 1 part lime juice. No sugar, that comes from the orange. Then I add cumin seed and coriander seed. Or some fresh oregano. Can I taste the spices in the onions, not really. But when I get a seed that makes its way onto my food it is a great flavor hit. Heterogeneity!

Hm about the slicing controversy: correlation does not imply causation. It is not only the cell damage, but if I am remembering correctly also the exposure of the enzymes to oxygen. In vinegar this might be not the case at all. I mean also, the chemicals involve will anyway become inactive over few hours

Something i very often miss is what % of Acetic acid are you using as not every country sell them the same, here it's either 12 or 24%, comes in smaller jars that you can easily dilute with water to correct % ( often 6% for pickling ) but unsure if this is what your using here?

I the Levant (and other areas surrounding) the second most popular pickles is Pink colored Turnips. The pink is achieved by adding a few slices of red beets or some red beet juice in with the pickle. The most popular pickle is cucumber or snake gourd, You get that EVERYWHERE.

Interesting idea to go straight vinegar- never seen that suggestion before. My cold pickled jalapenos with a 50: 50 vinegar/water become incredibly harsh tasting after about a week. I am curious if this method will help or hurt. Also possible I just need to add more sugar.

I've made pink pickled onions by making sauerkraut with purple cabbage wit a couple of spanish onions sliced (and other ingredients, including spices such as coriander seeds) into the mix. The onions picked up all of the color of the cabbage and tasted better every day.

Hey Adam. These are my favorite topping on the vegetarian nachos my girlfriend orders at a bar we go to, and I ve been trying to find them in the store FOREVER. You have officially made my day and possibly ruined hers (she hates my onion breath)
