Method

Pickled Red Onions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickling Liquid

    In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Slice and Pickle the Onion

    Thinly slice the red onion and place in a heatproof jar or bowl. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the onions, making sure they are fully submerged. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. For best flavor, refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
