I love, love, love, pickled red onions. I’ll eat them on just about anything; tacos, sandwiches, on omelets, and pizza, served with grilled meats, or even as an accompaniment on my charcuterie boards. I literally inhale them like my life depends on it, every chance I get.
Making these pickled red onions with guava juice, instead of water and sugar, makes them truly delectable. They’re sweet, tangy, with a hint of spice, if you choose to add the jalapenos, you can even do serranos, or habaneros if you’re feeling extra spicy. I also use this recipe to pickle my jalapenos, cucumbers, or just garlic too, since I enjoy the brine so much. The world is your oyster, pickle what ya want. So feel free to split the jars between different items, if you don’t need as many onions as I do lol.
And of course you can lessen the amount of garlic and spices to your preference, or even use different combinations of them. But you know me, I love my spices, and herbs. You can also use other juices too like pineapple, and passionfruit. I've even done them with Korean pear juice, and they’re all delicious regardless of the juice I’ve tried. If you give them a try, tag me on Instagram/tiktok and let me know what you think!
