Ingredients
Brine Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
Pickle Ingredients
- 2 pounds red onions
- 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons peppercorns
- 3 bay leaf
Instructions
- To make brine: Combine water, vinegar, sugar and salt in a saucepot and simmer over low heat, stirring often, until the salt and sugar have dissolved. Set aside until ready to use.
- Trim the onions and slice into thin strips.
- Toss onions with 1 ¾ tsp kosher salt and allow to sit for about 30 minutes, then rinse.
- Evenly distribute the peppercorns and bay leaves between the pint jars.
- Add about 1/2 lb of sliced onions to each jar. Gently press down with tongs to make sure everything is loosely packed.
- Cover with brine, leaving about ½ inch of headspace. Make sure your brine is hot when you pour it over the onions.
- Let the jars return to room temperature, put the lids on, and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The longer they sit the more they’ll pickle.
Notes
- You will also need: 3 pint-sized 3 piece mason jars, wide mouth funnel, canning pot, round rack that will fit into the bottom of your canning pot, jar lifter, small saucepan, magnetic lid lift (optional), tongs, a few clean kitchen towels
- Gluten Free Note: If you're making these pickles gluten free, make sure your vinegar is certified gluten free. If you can't find a GF white vinegar feel free to sub apple cider vinegar.
