Instructions for Pickling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the red onions thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Pickling Liquid

    In a saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, garlic cloves, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

  3. 3

    Pickle the Onions

    Place the sliced onions in a clean jar or container. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the onions, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let it cool to room temperature.

  4. 4

    Once cooled, seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using. The pickled red onions will be ready to enjoy after a few hours and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
