Pickled Red Onions

quick and easy pickled red onions

Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 large red onions, 1/4 inch slices (half moons)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 cups vinegar (I used 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar and 1/2 cup red wine vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon peppercorns
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried red chiles

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, add the sugar, vinegar, and seasonings. Heat over medium high heat until mixture comes to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Place the onions in the saucepan with the vinegar mixture to par blanch them. After 2-3 minutes, ladle the onions and vinegar mixture into clean, sanitized jars leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Slide a knife around the edge of the jar to eliminate any air bubbles. Screw lids onto the jars and tighten.
  3. You can process these jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes if desired. Or store in the fridge for several weeks.
