You don't normally leave anything to dry before pickling. Just skin if necessary - chop, slice or whatever into suitable size. Put into a plastic bowl and shake some salt over (this draws out excess moisture). Leave overnight, then drain and rinse. Pack into your jars and cover with spiced vineger.Comment

To 'dry' I soak overnight in salt solution and to make peeling easier I blast them in the microwave in small batches (in the brine) for 30 seconds. And yes, I always add a little sugar to the vinegar before bottling.Comment

I have a lot of marble size and a lot smaller shallots left over can I use them next year or are they to small to be any good.
thanks

Can I plant then

I wouldn't bother planting them - the crop could be very disappointing. If you can be bothered, peel and pickle them or use them in summer salads. The very small ones I chuck away - it's a case of diminishing returns.Comment

Now there's a novel idea..........planting pickled shallots!Originally posted by anthonyjb View Post
You CAN keep some of your shallots to plant in February if you like. Usually if you plant bigguns you will get a lot of smalluns and vice versa for littleuns planted give you a few whoppers.

Shallots pickled in balsamic vinegar are excellent. It's naturally sweet and goes great with continental cheeses and meats. Just use a cheap vinegar though. Balsamic can be prohibitively expensive. Supermarkets' own brands are fine.Why didn't Noah just swat those 2 greenflies?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
