Quick-Pickled Onions

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 medium red onion, very thinly sliced

½ cup water

¼ cup distilled white vinegar

¼ cup apple cider vinegar or additional white vinegar

1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup or honey

1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Directions

Pack the onions into a 1-pint mason jar or similar heat-safe vessel.

In a small saucepan, combine the water, both vinegars, maple syrup, salt, and pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then carefully pour the mixture into the jar over the onions.

Let the pickled onions cool to room temperature (about 20 to 30 minutes), at which point they should be sufficiently pickled for serving.
