Servings: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 1/2 red onion very thinly sliced
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (NOTE 1)
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup (NOTE 2)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns

Instructions

  • Place all the onion sliced in a 1 cups Mason Jar.
  • Combine water, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt and peppercorns in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • Pour mixture over the onions and press the onions down to get rid of air bubbles.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature. This will take about 25 minutes.
  • Store in fridge for max. 2-3 weeks. (NOTE 3)

Notes

  1. Instead of using a mix of white vinegar and apple cider vinegar, you can use white vinegar only.
  2. Instead of maple syrup you can use sugar or honey. (honey is not vegan).
  3. Quick pickled onions have to be refrigerated at all times. This is not a canned product as the jar and ingredients are not sterilized.
