Going to have my first attempt at pickling and preserving. Wondering where to buy pickling onions at a good price, and do they keep well!Does any fruit shop sell them etc!Many thanks.

Cool! I use the Edmonds recipe and its great. Yip you should be able to get some from the fruit and vegie shop. I generally get mine from the wee vegie stall down the road but have also found them at New World also. They keep very well, ive opened a jar thats over a year old and they were fine :)

I would not buy pickling onions right now as they will be last years crop stored and they will probably go soft . Wait until the new seasons crop is harvested around January.

i use deliah's recipe for quick no fuss pickle onions, you don't have to soak in brine first. just peel the onions add 1 tspn of greggs pickling spice cover with malt vingar leave in a dark place for 6 weeks and use they are yummy and very quick to do,

Once you pickle your own you will never want to store buy a jar again lol. Last year a friend and I pickled almost 20kg's worth. Next batch I am goingto be a bit more creative with my flavourings. I don't use a recipe, I make it up as I go according to taste.
