Perfect for gifting, these fiery onions are great for festive snacking, but you'll want to have them in your fridge all year round! These onions will be okay to eat the day after making but to ensure they have time to fully absorb the flavour of the pickle, leave for 10 days before tucking in. This recipe makes enough pickles to fill 2 x 500 ml jars. Make sure your jars are sterilised by running them through a dishwasher or rinsing them with boiling water before drying them at a very low temperature in the oven.
