Ingredients
- 2 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 Bay leaf
Directions
Step 1
Peel the red onions and slice them thinly into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Step 2
In a clean glass jar or container, place the sliced onions, pressing them down gently to fit them all if necessary.
Step 3
Peel the garlic clove and give it a gentle smash with the side of your knife to release its flavor. Add it to the jar along with the bay leaf and peppercorns.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, water, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the salt is completely dissolved.
Step 5
Once the vinegar mixture is warm but not boiling, pour it over the onions in the jar, making sure all the onions are submerged.
Step 6
Allow the pickles to cool down to room temperature. Seal the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator.
Step 7
For best results, let the onions pickle for at least 2 hours before using, though they will develop more flavor if left overnight.
Step 8
These sugar-free pickled onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy them as a topping on a variety of dishes!
