Made homemade red onion pickles and cucumber pickles, and a batch of peach iced tea this weekend just gone.
Haven’t eaten the pickles yet, as I like to let them mature a few days, but the iced tea turned out real lovely.
(Shame I didn’t take a photo of the onions, because I used distilled vinegar this time around, so they took on a really nice pink colour!)
I was just looking up recipes to can peaches and peach syrup for tea or sangria. This will be my first canning attempt. Hoping to learn a little while i wait for my cucumbers to grow to pickle size.
hell yeah for pickled red onions - such an awesome item to have in your fridge at all times and they make most things better. i forgot about my most recent batch for a few months but that’s the beauty of pickling lol, they are still delicious even now. super easy too, i recommend anyone reading this who has never tried before to give it a shot - it takes like 10 minutes and most of that is boiling water/vinegar.
have you ever tried lacto-fermenting vegetables? it scratches the same itch pickling does for me, and it gives the veg a flavor that is hard to get otherwise. i like to do hot peppers mostly, but you can chuck anything in there really.

Exactly. It’s easy to do, and yields fantastic results!
I’ve never done lacto-fermenting before, might have to give that a go
