Pickled Red Onion

Ingredients

1 red onion large
2 cups white vinegar 500 mL
2 cups water 500 mL
1/3 cup cane sugar 65 g
2 tbsp sea salt
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 tsp black peppercorns

Instructions

Thinly slice the red onions. It is much easier to use a mandolin to slice the onions thinly and consistently.
Heat the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolve entirely. Let cool.
Put the sliced onions, garlic, and peppercorns into a 500 mL mason jar. Pour the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt mixture over the onions. Cover the jar, and shake well to mix.
Let sit 1-24 hours before serving. The onions will be bright pink and tender to the bite.
