Ingredients
1largered onion
1/2cupfiltered water
1/2cupapple cider or distilled white vinegar
1tablespoongranulated sugaroptional, to help cut the acidity of the vinegar
Instructions
Slice red onions into very thin slices. Place red onion into a pint-sized jar. Mix filtered water, vinegar and sugar together in a bowl and stir to combine. Pour over red onion. Place into the fridge and allow to sit for 2-3 days at a minimum. The onions will slowly change color to a uniform pink, and will taste more pickled the longer they rest.
Be sure to remove the amount of onions you need for a recipe with a clean fork, so you do not contaminate the rest of the jar. Return to the fridge and use periodically. They will store for weeks, or even longer, in the fridge.
