Ingredients
- 1 large or 2 small red onions
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 teaspoon salt kosher or pickling
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- This recipe is for refrigerator pickles. It is not suitable for canning or storing the pickles at room temperature
- Remove the peel from the red onion and slice it into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Fill your half pint jar with red onion slices as you go so you know when you have sliced enough onion.
- In a small saucepan combine the cider vinegar with water. Then add the salt, sugar, peppercorns and cumin.
- Heat over medium heat until the salt and sugar dissolve, then take the pan off the heat.
- Pour the hot brine over the onions in the jar, filling to about 1/4 of an inch from the top.
- Put a lid on the jar and let it sit at room temperature for half an hour.
- The pickled onions are ready to use after 30 minutes. They will become sweeter and pinker over time. Put them in the refrigerator where they will keep for 2-3 weeks.
Notes
- Sometimes the spices don't go in the jar when you pour the brine. If this happens just use a spoon to transfer the spices to the jar.
- If the amount of brine you made doesn't quite cover the onions you can top the jar off with hot water.
