Pickled Onions

Ingredients

• 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• Optional: 1 garlic cloves and 1 Scotch bonnet ((seeds removed))

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the red onion thinly using a knife, mandoline, or julienne slicer. Use a claw grip when cutting to protect your fingers.

2. 2

   Pack the sliced onions into a clean glass jar.

3. 3

   In a small pot, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring until dissolved. Add optional flavor boosters if desired.

4. 4

   Pour the hot liquid over the onions, ensuring they are fully submerged. Fill the jar to the brim to minimize air exposure.

5. 5

   Let the jar cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.

6. 6

   Pickled onions are ready in an hour but taste best after 24 hours. Store in the fridge for up to a month.
