Was discussing pickling onions and gherkins with a friend last night, and we both commentedthat our onions and gherkins always seem soft and don't, have any crunch. any ideas on how to remedy this!

I keep mine in the fridge. one jar at a time. they always seem crunchy after being in there.

My findings with the onions are only bottle onions in the first 4 0r 5 months of the season i.e dec/april and onions willl stay crumchy for 12 months or more, as for gherkins I do not do these
