Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 Bay leaf
Instructions
Peel the red onions and slice them thinly into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a clean glass jar or container, place the sliced onions, pressing them down gently to fit them all if necessary.
Peel the garlic clove and give it a gentle smash with the side of your knife to release its flavor. Add it to the jar along with the bay leaf and peppercorns.
In a small saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, water, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the salt is completely dissolved.
Once the vinegar mixture is warm but not boiling, pour it over the onions in the jar, making sure all the onions are submerged.
Allow the pickles to cool down to room temperature. Seal the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator.
For best results, let the onions pickle for at least 2 hours before using, though they will develop more flavor if left overnight.
These sugar-free pickled onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy them as a topping on a variety of dishes!
