Who doesn’t like a crisp, punchy and vinegary pickled onion? Especially with a nice bit of quality cheddar as part of a ploughman’s or cold platter. Making your own pickles and preserves is not difficult at all, it may cost you a little time but the rewards vastly outweigh any time spent.
Shop bought pickled onions are often not as crisp as I like and often come across as quite mushy or soft. The difference in texture and sharp flavour really goes well with some cheese!
The inexpensive IKEA Korken Jar is ideal for making your own pickles, preserves and even sauerkraut. At the time of writing the price is only £2.50 for the 1.8 L version which seems to be a good compromise between sizes. A sturdy wire frame for the lid assembly and a natural rubber gasket ensures a good tight seal.
We definitely recommend buying a couple for your winter cheese board prep!
