Why should I eat it?

• Cheap – Red onions
• Easy – Requires minimal ingredients and equipment

What do I need?

• Red Onions - 2 for this recipe
• Sugar - 1/3 cup
• Salt - 2 tbsp
• White Vinegar - 2 cups
• Water - 2 cups
• Pot to boil the brine
• Mason jar(s) that fit the 2 onions and handle high temperatures

The Red Onions

1. Start making the brine, then while it is boiling (3), start these.
2. Slice the red onions into thin strips. You can use a mandolin, but I don’t have one, so I just used a sharp knife.
3. Gently break up the red onions with your hands so that all of the pieces are separated.
4. Place the red onions in the mason jar(s).

The Brine

1. Add sugar, salt, white vinegar, and water to the pot.
2. Mix the brine until the salt and sugar are fully dissolved.
3. Boil the pot on high until a rolling boil.

Combine

1. Once the brine is boiled, pour the brine into the mason jars that have your sliced red onions in them.
2. Seal the mason jars with the lid.
3. I like to wait for the mason jars to reduce in temperature before putting these in the fridge, however, I don’t think this is necessary.

Serve

After 1 day, these are ready. Serve with anything.
