Ingredients

  • 1 red onion large
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp white sugar
  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper ground

Instructions

  • Peel the onion and cut it in half lengthwise. Slice very thin. Sprinkle ground black pepper over the sliced onions. Pack into a pint jar tightly but without crushing.
  • Pour the vinegar in a medium bowl. Add the salt and the sugar and whisk until dissolved. Pour the vinegar in the jar to the top. Discard any leftovers.
  • Cover and let stand at room temperature for 4-6 hours or overnight, then refrigerate for up to 2-3 weeks. The onions are ready for consumption after only a few hours but only get better over time.
