Ingredients
- 1 red onion or 2 small red onions, large, thinly sliced
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Place sliced onion in a pint jar.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the water, vinegar, sugar and salt to a low simmer. Stir for about 1 minute, or until the sugar and salt completely dissolve in the liquid. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Pour the liquid over the onions. Let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour, then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- This is a basic recipe, which is delicious as written, but can also be customized with a variety of flavors and seasonings.
- Herbs: add a sprig or two of rosemary, oregano, thyme or dill.
- Seasonings: such as bay leaves, a clove or two of garlic, a few peppercorns, ground allspice, dried chili, and ginger.
- Vinegars: mix up the vinegar for slightly different flavor. Red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar and rice vinegar all work well.
- Sweeteners: granulated sugar is a classic ingredient, but you can play around with other sweeteners such as honey, agave, or maple syrup.
- Mexican Pickled Red Onions: add sliced habañero peppers, jalapeño peppers, or even just a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to make the onions spicy. Use a pinch of ground cumin, oregano, allspice, or bay leaf for traditional Mexican flavor.
- Lemon or Lime: replace some of the vinegar with a different acid, like freshly-squeezed lemon juice or lime juice.
