Pickled Red Onions

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel and thinly slice the red onions. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife for even slices.

  2. 2

    Make the Pickling Liquid

    In a saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, garlic, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  3. 3

    Combine and Cool

    Place the sliced onions in a clean jar and pour the hot pickling liquid over the onions. Ensure the onions are fully submerged. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate

    Once cooled, cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
