About this deal

The only caveat is that all the ingredients must be safe for canning individually. You can’t add eggs, flour, or pasta to the soup, but since there is a safe canning recipe for onions, you’re able to add those if you wish. Once your onions are peeled and ready to go, you can start getting your canner ready, too. I recommend heating your jars, bands, and lids while your onions are being prepped to save some time.

In the US, safe canning recipes are determined by the national center for food preservation in coordination with agricultural extensions. They only have so many resources, and they can’t test every possible permutation. The cooperative extension at Clemson College tested a recipe for canning whole small onions, about 1 inch in diameter. If you’re not familiar with pressure canning, I’d recommend you read this beginner’s guide to pressure canning before you get started.) How to Can Onions Load your onions into the jars. Pour brine into each jar, making sure you leave about half an inch of headspace at the top of the jar. That assuming you have a lot of extra freezer space, but really that’s best used for storing meat or a summer’s worth of frozen berries. Canning provides you a good option without taking up freezer space.Remove any air bubble using a spoon and add more liquid if necessary, so that the 1-inch head space is maintained. Honestly, I’d never really thought about canning onions, it just didn’t seem necessary. We usually grow storage onion varieties that’ll easily keep 6 to 8 months in our basement, ensuring a supply until the following year. Place the peeled onions in a pot and cover with water, bring the water to boil at medium-high heat and let them boil for 5 minutes, or until they gain a translucent color. Here it is: now you have safely canned your onions and can enjoy them in a variety of meals, to add a specific and tasty flavor to your meals! Tips on Storing and Preserving Onions What’s the secret savory note in this decadent chocolate cake? You guessed it! Caramelized onions are the star of this sweet treat. Onion Sauce

Heat up your water bath canner. Fill with water to the fill line with about seven cups of water (that’s what I use for my specific canner but you’ll need to estimate to about where your pint jars will hit - you may need to add a bit more water once the canner gets going). Canned onions taste like they’re cooked and slightly caramelized, so they’re milder in flavor and softer in texture than raw. They’re best enjoyed in a recipe, such as a sauce, gravy, or soup. Can I can whole onions? Now you need to slice your onions up. I recommend slicing them into rings, although depending on your intended uses, you could also dice them. When it comes to cooking the egg in a corned beef hash, you have two options, depending on if you like a runny or firm yolk? See below and cook to your prefered method. Firm egg yolkThe first and most important step when canning onions is to wash them. I like to do this both before and after peeling. Onions are covered in dirt – after all, they are root vegetables! – and it’s important that you remove any soilborne pathogens before putting your onions in a jar. Cover the onions with the hot brine, again leaving headspace. Remove any air bubbles with a plastic or wooden bubble remover – don’t use metal, because this can etch the glass. Once you reach a boil, set your canning timer. Process the jars for ten minutes, then remove them and let them rest for 24 hours on a clean towel (this will protect your table from any water marks).
