Pickled Onions

there should be

my grandmother added spoon of muscovado sugar to each kilner jar of shallots after salting and leaving for a while

I continued the tradition for some years.

anyone like the little silverskin ones??

Try the Heywards Hot & Spicy version from Asda.
Blow your head off...
In a good way

I've given up on Heywards... Rarely get a crunch from them these days... Was looking for a fine blend of hot / spicy and crunchy... see above.
