I really like pickled cauliflower too. I've never boiled the vinegar, I don't see the point, it's quite sterile as it is because of the acid I should think.

Here's a tip to help with peeling all those little onions (you probably know it already..) Briefly immerse the onions in boiling water (just a few seconds). This will soften the skins and make them flexible so that they come off quite easily.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-74257082326992989032014-02-17T18:43:43.875+00:002014-02-17T18:43:43.875+00:00I am definitely not going to show this post to TNG...I am definitely not going to show this post to TNG Sue, he will demand that I grow enough onions to make jars of pickles, whether correctly labelled or not ;-)Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-1408947699383201952014-02-17T15:51:48.712+00:002014-02-17T15:51:48.712+00:00Did you spot the mistake, Victoria?Did you spot the mistake, Victoria?Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-83313945287560807712014-02-17T15:51:17.320+00:002014-02-17T15:51:17.320+00:00I'll be interested in how you get on with that...I'll be interested in how you get on with that, AlainSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-12510034970801713922014-02-17T15:50:45.884+00:002014-02-17T15:50:45.884+00:00I may do, Jill but Martyn is keen to have more bra...I may do, Jill but Martyn is keen to have more braised at the moment.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-83638283151193079892014-02-17T15:50:01.569+00:002014-02-17T15:50:01.569+00:00It certainly is RachelIt certainly is RachelSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-83158044043386687292014-02-17T15:49:25.753+00:002014-02-17T15:49:25.753+00:00Have you pickled beetroot Chel?Have you pickled beetroot Chel?Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-56506490362111432014-02-17T15:42:57.882+00:002014-02-17T15:42:57.882+00:00The labels are nice Sue!The labels are nice Sue!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
