Easy Red Pickled Onions
A quick and easy recipe to make red pickled onions
Ingredients
- 1 medium medium red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Slice onions thin with a mandolin slicer or knife.
- Pack the onions into a mason jar. Place the jar in the sink.
- In a small saucepan, mix water, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir and remove from heat.
- Pour mixture into the jar over onions. Press onions down into liquid with a spoon.
- Let cool to room temperature before serving – about 30 minutes. I personally like them cold, so feel free to cover and refrigerate after they are room temp.
Notes
These pickled onions are best when eaten a few days after making them, but will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
