Slice the onions and add them to a clean jar.
Add the peppercorns to the jar.
In a pot, combine water, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, salt, and sugar, then bring to a boil.
Once boiled, pour the hot liquid over the onions and press down to ensure they are fully submerged.
Allow the mixture to cool for 45 minutes to 1 hour, then put on the lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.
Use red onions for a sweeter flavor, but white onions work just as well.
Make sure the jar is clean to avoid contamination and extend shelf life.
Press the onions down firmly to ensure they are fully submerged in the liquid for even pickling.
Store the pickled onions in the fridge for up to several weeks.
How long do pickled onions last in the fridge?
Pickled onions can last for several weeks in the fridge if stored in a clean, airtight jar.
Can I use a different type of vinegar?
Yes, you can experiment with other types of vinegar like rice vinegar or balsamic vinegar, but it may alter the flavor profile.
Do I need to boil the liquid?
Boiling the liquid helps dissolve the sugar and salt and ensures the flavors are well combined.
Can I add other spices or herbs?
Absolutely! You can add spices like mustard seeds, coriander seeds, or fresh herbs like thyme for additional flavor.
Do I need to wait before eating the pickled onions?
Yes, refrigerating for at least 1 hour allows the flavors to develop, but they taste even better after a day or two.
