Can you pickle onions with white vinegar?

Hi. I used this recipe for onions before Christmas and they are great. I have some shop bought pickled eggs which don't have much flavour. Can I put a bag of the spices into the jar to perk them up?

Yes Ben you can easily add chilies but i would suggest that instead of making the vinegar with them you instead add whole birds eye red chillies into the jar along with the your onions. Then when you change your vinegar test an onion for flavour to see if more fresh whole chilies need to be added. Don't throw the old chillies away as these will taste great as some heat will have been replaced by the flavour of the onions and spiced vinegar.

I'd have thought it would be a bit big. You only really need a small bag or square of muslin tied at the top.

Hi I was just wondering if a bag for jelly making would be just as good, I have one in the cupboard that someone bought for me a few years ago.

Just made this Torte…gorgeous!! I was a little nervous about the consistency of the cake mix too but once cooked it was perfect. I used half strawberries and half raspberries from my garden and served it with ice-cream. My husband and kids loved it and i have to make another one tomorrow! The cinammon complements it perfectly. Definately give it a go.

Thanks for the recipe – could I add chili easily? Would I use a whole one, just the seeds or the dried flakes? Does it make any difference?

It depends on what you're pickling. Follow the recipe and make certain that it has an acetic content of over 5 per cent.
