In reply to Dave. Dave, I'm so glad to hear that you and your wife are enjoying the pickled red onions! To make them a little sweeter, you can definitely add sugar to the brine. I recommend starting with 1/2 to 1 cup of sugar, depending on how sweet you'd like them to be. Just mix it into the brine until it's fully dissolved before pouring it over the onions. Enjoy!

My wife and I love these pickled red onions. We enjoy eating them right out of the jar. What would it take to make them a little sweeter? How much sugar do you think would be advisable to add?

In reply to Carsten Madsen. Carsten, Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you and your wife enjoyed the recipe for your first canning adventure. Yields often vary, especially with pickled vegetables, due to factors like the size, slice thickness, and packing density. As long as you followed the recipe and processed the jars properly, your extra jars are perfectly safe. Welcome to the world of home canning—I'm glad this recipe was a hit for you both!

So my wife and myself used this recipe as a test for our plunge into canning. And seeing as how we love pickled red onions and they are expensive this was a must try. Easy to follow but we got a much higher yield then the 6 1/2 pint jars. We ended up with 8 1/2 pints and 1 full pint. I double checked the bag on onions and it was 3lbs. I also made sure the onions were packed in the jars.
Thank you!

This recipe is on my list. Thank your the tip about using a coffee filter for spices. That tip comes in so handy for many applications. I really appreciate it.
