Trust me, you have got to try this recipe!!
You will need 5 simple ingredients:
Red Onions
Obviously, you will need Red Onions 😉 Be sure to slice them as thin as possible. This allows the red onions to absorb the pickling liquid much easier so they are ready to eat faster.
Vinegar
Vinegar is essential when it comes to pickling anything. For this recipe I like to use red wine vinegar because it has a slightly sweeter flavour and also provides some colour. You could also use white vinegar, apple cider vinegar or any other vinegar of your choosing. A combination of different vinegars also works perfectly as well!
Water
Water is needed to create the perfect brine to pickle the red onions. It dilutes the vinegar just enough to give you a balanced pickling liquid.
Sugar
Some form of sweetener is needed to balance out the vinegar. I like to use granulated sugar, although you could use other sweeteners like honey or even add in some grenadine for sweetness and a beautiful pop of colour!
Salt
The addition of salt rounds out all of the flavours to create a perfectly balanced recipe!
