I can't see why not. You could add spices to taste. White would be better than red though.

I live in Menorca and to buy malt or pickling vinegar is difficult, if not impossible. Could you use wine vinegar?

Hi Val. I would like to thank you Sooooooooo Much for your help in this matter of pickling onions, I grow all my own veg and this year I put in Total 5 rows that amounts to almost a kilometer of them. I started out thinking I knew what I was doing and have done 27 jars when I stumbled on your link, I did not know anything about it at all. So I am just waiting for the brine to cool and I will get back to you in a few weeks. Thanks again Regards Les. R. C. 18/2/2010

I couldn't wait after making 4 jars, I opened one within two weeks and tasted ok but a bit more onion than pickled onion, still ate the lot. I opened one jar one month in and to be honest if I couldn't wait again this is the minimum that I would wait. As for the last couple of jars, they were both opened and eaten over the Christmas – New year and were fantastic. I would have liked to have made them with 3 months to pickle instead of the 2 months. So…..here I go again at making another new batch into 2010 for spring.

It's best to leave them for a couple of months but you could try it.

I used to pickle my own years ago, I'm just wondering, have i left it too late to have them ready for Christmas?

Great website – I googled pickled onion recipe and found your site, then, miraculously the recipe appeared before me. Other searches do not achieve such instant results. Thanks.

I have pickled shallots twice and never soak them in salt water first, to be honest cant be bothered, but they always come out lovely.
