Ingredients
- 2 red onions
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Peel the red onions and slice them thinly. A mandoline works best for even, thin slices.
- In a jug, stir together the vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
- Place the onion slices in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water. Let them sit for 30–60 seconds, then drain well.
- Pack the onions into clean jars. Pour the vinegar mixture over the top, pressing down so the onions are fully submerged.
- Let the jars come to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate. The onions are ready to eat after 30 minutes and will keep for 2–3 weeks in the fridge.
Notes
Storage Instructions: Keep in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
