I really like the taste and texture of English pickled onions in malt
vinegar but they are expensive to buy and hard to find. I got a good
recipe on r.f.cooking years ago and made some for myself. Unfortunately,
you have to steep the onions in brine for a month and it's hard to be
that patient.

i saved that recipe, too.

I haven't tried it, but I suspect that the frozen pearl onions would go
mushy.


i guess i'll just have to try it and see. i made some refrigerator pickles
with frozen cauliflower that turned out pretty well.

Blake, ping Marilyn on rec.food.preserving--I have a vague recollection
that she used some frozen pearl onions in a pickle this summer/fall.
Can't hurt to ask.

IIRC years ago I made some jardiniere with frozen pearl onions (eye appeal
is a biggie with jardiniere, I gave it as gifts), the onions were just
fine...
