WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE QUICK PICKLED RED ONIONS:

• 1 large red onion peeled and sliced thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup hot tap water

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST PICKLED RED ONIONS:

Peel and slice the onion as thinly as possible using a very sharp knife or mandoline.

Separate the rings and set aside.

In a large glass measuring cup with pour spout (or medium bowl) whisk the hot tap water, red wine vinegar, sugar and salt together until the sugar and salt have dissolved.

Add thin slices of the raw onions to the Mason jar. Note: use one large jar or a couple of smaller ones.

Pour the brine (pickling mixture) over the onions then divide the peppercorns between the jars.

Add a sprig of fresh dill to the top of each jar then gently press down on the onions with a fork to fully submerge them in the brine.

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes but for best results let them marinate 8-12 hours before eating.

​HOW TO SUBSTITUTE INGREDIENTS IN THIS RECIPE:

• Try other fresh herbs next time like oregano or a bay leaf.
• Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar can be used instead of red wine vinegar.
• Instead of a glass measuring cup whisk brine in a bowl and ladle liquid into jars.
