  • Red onions, sliced

Directions

  2. Saucepot
  3. Canning jar (for example, mason jar)
  4. Place onion slices in a canning jar.
  5. Use a ratio of 2:1:1—2 parts water, 1 part sugar, and 1 part vinegar. Adjust the amount of pickling liquid to match the size of the batch of pickled onions you want to make. If you are unfamiliar with ratios, 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup vinegar in a 16-ounce canning jar is a good place to start. How many onions you use will depend on their size.
  6. Combine the water, sugar, and vinegar into a saucepot and bring to a simmer. Once all of the sugar has dissolved into the liquid, pour the hot pickling liquid over the red onions to submerge them and seal the jar.
  7. Let cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator.
