Ingredients

  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Add 1 cup white vinegar, 1.5 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 tbsp kosher salt to a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar and salt has dissolved (about 10 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice 1 red onion by cutting crosswise and then lengthwise through the root to create half-moon rounds.
  • Add the red onion slices to a jar. You may need to divide your onion across multiple jars or bowls.
  • Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture into the jars with the onions.
  • Allow onions to pickle for at least 30 minutes, but preferably for 2 hours before serving. When the onions turn a bright pink color, they're ready to enjoy.
