I slice it thinly (as usual) then sprinkle with salt sugar and vinegar, and in a couple of hours I drain and eat.

It will work on just about any thing. Does pickling improve the nutrition like fermenting or does it just give the vegetable a better taste. Maybe during the cold snowy winter months here I will research and trying some pickling preservation techniques. <br /><br />Have a great pickled onion day.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-90591557194554577662014-11-16T13:31:06.122+00:002014-11-16T13:31:06.122+00:00I love pickled beetroot too.I love pickled beetroot too.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-47658678313545509582014-11-16T13:30:27.590+00:002014-11-16T13:30:27.590+00:00Your process looks much like mine, but I used red ...Your process looks much like mine, but I used red wine vinegar.
