Enjoy the tangy, crisp bite of perfectly pickled onions, a versatile condiment that elevates any dish. These brined delights add a zesty punch to sandwiches, salads, charcuterie boards, and even cocktails, offering a delightful culinary experience.
Storage Time
Once opened, pickled onions typically last for 3–4 weeks in the refrigerator, provided they remain submerged in their brine. Unopened jars can last for up to a year when stored in a cool, dark pantry.
Temperature
Store unopened jars in a cool, dark pantry (ideally between 15-20°C or 59-68°F). Once opened, always refrigerate at 0–4°C (32–40°F).
Signs of Spoilage
- Cloudy or murky brine, indicating bacterial growth.
- An off, yeasty, or alcoholic smell, suggesting fermentation beyond the intended pickling process.
- Soft, slimy, or mushy texture, a clear sign of spoilage and loss of crispness.
