Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
- Peel the onions and slice them very thin (use a sharp knife or mandoline).
- Combine the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan.
- Heat the brine over medium heat and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat.
- Place the sliced onions in a clean jar or bowl.
- Pour the hot brine over the onions, pressing them down so they’re fully covered.
- Let the jar cool to room temperature, then close the lid and chill. You can eat them after 30 minutes, but they taste best after a few hours or overnight.
- Use a clean fork to scoop them out when serving.
Notes
Slice onions evenly for quick pickling. Adjust sweetness and saltiness as per your taste.
