Equipment
- 1 jar of 2 cups (500ml) capacity
Ingredients
- ½ cup white vinegar (wine or apple cider)
- ½ cup water
- 1 ½ tablespoons sugar or honey or maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons fine salt
- 10 oz (285 grams) red onions (about 2 medium onions)
Instructions
- Prep the onions: Peel the onions, cut them in half lengthwise, and trim off the root end. Thinly slice them and transfer them to the jar.
- Make the pickling liquid: Transfer the vinegar, the water, the sugar and the salt to a small pot and heat over medium heat until hot and almost bubbly. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Pickle: Pour the pickling liquid over the sliced onions and let them cool.
- Store: Cover them and transfer them to the fridge. After 2-3 hours they should be ready to eat, but they'll be even better the next day.
