Ingredients
For the Pickled Onions:
- 1 medium red onion (300g)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup vinegar (240mL), distilled white, red wine, or apple cider
Optional Seasonings:
- 1 garlic clove peeled and smashed
- ½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Thinly slice the red onion into circles or thin slices. Place in a quart-sized glass mason jar (or divide amongst two pint-sized jars).
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, salt, vinegar, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the salt and sugar. If using any optional seasonings, stir them in.
- Pour over the onions and let cool to room temperature for about 1 hour. You can use the onions immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. (They have the best flavor if they sit overnight, but you can also use them immediately after they cool.)
Notes
- Check the onions before you start. You want to make sure your onions do not have any soft spots, mold, or mildew. Sometimes, when onions are stored for a long time, they can develop mildew in the layers of the skin. Check the onion before and after peeling it.
- Add citrus. You can replace up to ¼ cup of the vinegar with fresh lime or lemon juice or add a strip or two of citrus zest to the jar.
- Customize this pickled onion recipe to your taste using pickling spices and/or cumin, fennel, or mustard seeds. I like to insert a sprig of fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or dill. You can also add a small dried chili or a dash of red pepper flakes for heat.
- Use a different sweetener: Feel free to use maple syrup or honey instead of granulated sugar.
