How to Make Pickled Red Onions ?


  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 15 minutes (plus 1 hour pickling time)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for a milder flavor)

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns, 1 bay leaf, or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes for added flavor


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Onions

Peel and thinly slice the red onions. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even, thin slices.

Step 2: Make the Pickling Brine

In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Do not boil the mixture.

Step 3: Pack the Onions

Place the sliced onions into a clean mason jar or airtight glass container. If using, add peppercorns, bay leaf, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Step 4: Pour the Brine

Carefully pour the warm pickling brine over the onions, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Step 5: Cool and Store

Let the jar cool to room temperature, then seal it with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using. For best results, let them sit overnight.
