Nice pickles are necessary for me (my partner and I make our own pickles, mmmmmm)

Onions I love, but I MUCH prefer them to be caramelized. It just takes me like an hour or two. But mmmmmmm

My husband likes grilled onions, but I prefer the crunch of raw. I love a really good pickle. We're growing cucumbers right now and I would love to learn to pickle. Would you like to share a recipe?

My quick pickle recipe:

Vinegar + Water in equal proportions, and whatever spices you like.

Boil it and turn the stove off.

Put in the sliced cucumbers , onions, and whatever else you need to pickle.

After a few minutes it's ready to be used.

Cool off the solution afterwards and put it in fridge for storage.

Have you ever tried the trick where you add baking soda to accelerate the Maillard reaction? Just a small pinch for a couple of onions, and you’re done in 15min or so. Too much and not as tasty.
