Servings 1 jar

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sea salt flakes
  • 2 red onions
  • 1 tsp peppercorn

Instructions

  • Add water, white vinegar, sugar, and salt to a small saucepan. Heat the mixture until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved.
  • Allow the mixture to cool down slightly.
  • Thinly slice the red onions, place them in a jar, and pour the liquid over them, ensuring they are fully covered. Leave on the counter until cool down, then transfer to the fridge.
  • Store the jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The onions will be ready to enjoy after 3 hour, but for best results, let them sit overnight before eating.

  1. Super and erasy and delicious. This is now a staple of mine, always ready to add to salads and sandwiches.

  2. This recipe is so easy to make, thank you, I love it! Quick question, when you finish all the onions of the jar, would you recommend to empty the mix of water, white vinegar etc or going for a second round of onions is fine in term of bacteria. Thanks!5 stars
