“I’ve had it up to here with Valentine’s blather and there’s still a few days to go before it ends. Enough with the sugar (I know, you never thought you’d hear me say that, right?), the chocolate, and the red food coloring saturated sweets.It’s such a silly Hallmark holiday. Every day is Valentine’s around here (go ahead and groan all you like) and I’ve got three sweethearts that I bake for regardless of the calendar date.So, here, a very un-valentine recipe for you. Pickled onions are pink of natural causes as the skin from the red onion bleeds into the brine. So skip the red food coloring and sugar this year, and instead create a naturally pink condiment that will make him pucker.Quick-Pickled Red Onions with Cumin I made these for a garnish over a warm smoked salmon ‘pizza’. We since found out that they are pretty tasty on much, much more.Good thing they’re quick to make.”
