Ingredients
- 1-2 large red onions enough slices to fill 2 16oz mason jars
- 1 cup vinegar distilled white, red, or apple cider vinegar. I used organic white.
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1 teaspoon pink salt or sea salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- flavors for onions can include fresh garlic, fresh herbs, pickling spice, fresh hot peppers, peppercorns, cumin seeds. check out the instructions for which ones I used.
Instructions
- In a saucepan measure in vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil then turn the heat off and stir the mixture until salt and sugar are dissolved.
- With a mandoline or knife slice the onions thin.
- Stuff the sliced onions down into 16oz mason jars or other glass jars.
- Pour vinegar mixture over top of onions until it covers them all.
- Add in extras for flavor. I did one jar with half of a red jalapeno, two fresh garlic cloves, and a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary and thyme. I did the other jar with ½ teaspoon pickling spice, teaspoon black peppercorns, and 2 garlic cloves. I made sure to give the garlic a whack and open it a little for flavor and benefits!
