Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 small red onions
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Instruction

  • Using a mandoline, or a very sharp knife, thinly slice the onions into 1/8 inch thick slices. Divide the onions evenly between two pint-size jars or one quart-size jar.
  • If using, add 1/2 teaspoon of peppercorns to each jar of onions.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar over medium heat, until the sugar and salt are dissolved, whisking occasionally. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions, dividing the mixture evenly between the jars. Use a fork or spoon to submerge the onions fully in the vinegar mixture.
  • Place the lid on the jars and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
