pickled red onions
Servings: 8
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black peppercorns
Instructions
- Heat the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and black peppercorns over medium heat.
- Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 1 minute.
- Let cool and pour over the onions.
- Set aside to cool to room temperature, then store the onions in the fridge
- Your pickled onions will be ready to eat once they're bright pink and tender - about 1 hour for very thinly sliced onions, or overnight for thicker sliced onions. They will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Sept 16, 2025
- Cut the onion from small angle and work up to get nice thin slices
- Ended up a little too sweet
- The oregano, cinnamon and chili flakes didn't do much for you
