Pickled Onions And Peppers Food

PICKLED PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Halve bell peppers and discard seeds, ribs, and blossom ends. Cut peppers lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide irregular pieces and transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Trim and peel onions. Halve garlic cloves. Add onions and garlic to peppers. In a saucepan bring water and vinegars to a boil and add juniper berries, sugar, and salt. Simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved. Pour vinegar mixture over peppers and onions, covering them completely, and cool. Chill peppers and onions in an airtight container at least 12 hours and up to 5 days.

PICKLED JALAPENOS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Put the jalapenos and red onions in a 16-ounce wide-mouth mason jar.
• In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
• Pour the hot liquid over the veggies in the jar, screw on the lid and set aside. When it has cooled to room temperature, transfer the jar to the fridge to chill for a minimum of an hour, which will allow the vegetables to pickle. The pickles will last in the fridge for 3 days. Serve them on pulled pork sandwiches.

PICKLED ONIONS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, 3/4 cup water, sugar, spices, and 2 tablespoons salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Fill clean containers tightly with vegetables. Add boiling brine to cover completely. Let cool completely. Cover, label, and refrigerate at least 1 week before serving, or up to 3 months.

PICKLED CABBAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl or cork, toss the cabbage and peppers with the salt. Cover and let stand in a cool place for 8-12 hours.
• In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then let it cool.
• Rinse the cabbage, and drain it well. Toss with the pepper flakes, mustard seeds and garlic. Pack the vegetable mixture firmly into pint mason jars. (the recipe as written generally makes about 4 pints. If you find you need more jars, you may not have packed firmly enough - and you'll need more vinegar mixture as a result.) Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Close the jars with hot two-piece caps.
• Process the jars for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the cabbage.

PICKLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Using a VERY sharp knife slice the onions as thin as you are able.
• Place the sliced onions into a bowl and set aside.
• Use only FRESH lemon juice. Usually 2 medium lemons will have plenty of juice. Squeeze the lemons until you have 1/4 cup juice. Discard the seeds and pour juice into a small bowl. Add the vinegar to the lemon juice.
• Sprinkle the onions with salt and red pepper to taste.
• Pour the lemon/vinegar mixture over the onions and gently toss with your fingers until all the onions are wet and the salt and red pepper is evenly distributed.
• Cover the bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes. The onion will turn bright pink and decrease in volume.
• Taste an onion slice. When it's zingy and crunchy and yummy serve with your favorite dish.
