HOW TO: Peel Pearl Onions #FabulousFallBounty #Sponsored

 This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the sponsors of #FabulousFallBounty.
I received complimentary product for the purpose of review and recipe development,
but all opinions are honest and they are my own. This page may contain affiliate links.

Welcome to the first day of our celebration of #FabulousFallBounty. You can read more about the event: here. I already shared a recipe today, but we received so many goodies, I knew I would probably need to post multiple recipes to cover everything I wanted to share.

And, once again, many thanks to our event sponsors: Silpat for a handy silicone mat; Le Creuset for a lovely serving platter; and Melissa's Produce for providing the bloggers with a beautiful box of goodies.


Okay, I would never have admitted this before: but I have never purchased pearl onions because I thought they would be too difficult to peel. Seriously. So, when I received a bunch from Melissa's, I was happy to see 'easy peeling instructions' on the inside of the lid. Still dubious, I decided to follow the instructions and see how it went. Success! I am no longer intimidated by pearl onions.

The Creations
HOW TO: Peel Pearl Onions

Ingredients
  • pearl onions
  • water
  • ice water


Procedure
Fill saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Drop whole pearl onions into the boiling water and boil for 45 to 60 seconds. Drain onions and place them in a bowl of ice water. Once they are cool enough to handle, trim the tips off the onions. Gently squeeze the to pop off the skins. Done.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."
