Ingredients

  • 1 red onion
  • 1 cups water
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp cane sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/8 tsp allspice optional
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Slice the onion and place in a large glass jar.
  • Heat the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and allspice in a saucepan. Don't bring the mixture to a full boil - instead pull it off when it is hot but not boiling. Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions and allow them to sit until cooled to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator until ready to use. The pickled onions are ready when they have softened, about 1 hour after prep. They are best when they have had 24 hours to sit in the refrigerator. Onions will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month in a sealed container.
