Instructions

Slice the onion and jalapeño and put them in a lidded bowl.
Add the salt and sugar. Then pour the vinegar over top of the onions until the onions are mostly covered. Don't worry if the onions are sticking out a little bit.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours and ideally overnight.
These spicy pickled onions will keep in the refrigerator for a couple weeks.

Notes

To make these spicy pickled red onions spicier, use a red hot chili pepper like a habanero.
To make these onions less spicy, use less than a whole pepper and do not include the seeds. You can taste the onions as they pickle and remove the pepper when they are spicy enough for your taste.
You can substitute another vinegar for the white wine vinegar, but this is a mild pickle. Apple cider vinegar or another strong vinegar will overwhelm the flavor of the red onions.
