Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and slice the onion into 1/8th inch rounds.

  2. 2

    Find a glass jar or airtight container, that is large enough to hold the sliced onions and liquid.

  3. 3

    Pour the hot water into the container and stir in the sugar or honey, and salt. Stir until it dissolves. Then stir in the vinegar.

  4. 4

    Add the onions slices and press them down to make sure they are submerged. Let the onions soak and “pickle” in the liquid for at least 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve, or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
