Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small to medium red onion (can use other onions)
- 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar (other vinegar will work)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1-1/2 tsp pickling salt (or kosher salt / sea salt)
Instructions
- First, add the water and vinegar to a small sauce pan (I like using one with a spout) and turn the heat up to high.
- Slice your onion in half lengthwise, then peel off the outer skin. Slice the onion thinly, separating the slices and adding them to a mason jar.
- When the liquid in your pot has little bubbles, stir in the salt until it dissolves. Once the mixture comes to a boil, you can pour it over the onions.
- Depending on how big your onions are, you may have a little leftover liquid. Fill it to just below the brim and dump the rest.
- If you do not have enough liquid to cover the onions, try pushing them down with a spoon. If they still aren't covered, add a splash of vinegar.
- Let them cool until they're just warm, close the lid and place in the fridge. They should be cured in about 8-10 hours.
