Ingredients
- 1 red onion sliced thin
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Cut the onion in half and slice it into thin strips. Add all the onion into a mason jar.
- Add the vinegar, peppercorns, garlic, salt, and sugar to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar and salt dissolve. Let the mixture come to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
- Pour the vinegar mixture into the jar over the sliced onion. Screw the lid onto the jar and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Notes
- I like my pickled onions to have a more vinegary flavor. You can add more sugar, up to 3 tbsp in total, if you prefer sweeter pickled onion.
- Keep your pickled onions sealed in a jar stored in the fridge. They'll last you 2 weeks.
