Ingredients

  • 1 red onion, finely sliced
  • 1 cup vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar

Instructions

  • Place the red onion slices into a jar and set aside.
  • In a glass or measuring cup, combine the vinegar, hot water, salt, and sugar. Stir until the salt and sugar are dissolved.
  • Pour the vinegar mixture into the jar, ensuring all of the onions are submerged.
  • Let sit for 40-45 minutes with the lid off to let cool. Once time is up, put a lid on the jar and store in the refrigerator.
  • Pickles are ready to eat at this point, but I recommend refrigerating at least 2-3 hours before serving when possible.
