HOW TO: Peel Pearl Onions #FabulousFallBounty #Sponsored

I received complimentary product for the purpose of review and recipe development,

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

  • pearl onions
  • 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.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
