Instructions

In a microwave-safe container, heat the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper for about 2-3 minutes in the microwave or until hot. Or, heat the mixture in a pan over high heat on the stovetop until just beginning to boil.
Place thinly sliced red onions in a 16-24 ounce glass jar or glass container.
Pour pickling liquid on top of onions, close lid tightly, shake the jar, and let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

If you don’t plan on serving them right away, make sure the jar is cool before storing in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. The longer they soak, the softer, sweeter, and pinker in color they’ll become!
