Description

Quick-pickling is easy and fun, while also adding so much flavor to a variety of vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Measure the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar and salt into a medium saucepan. Set over high heat and bring to a boil until sugar and salt dissolve.
  2. Slice red onion and put in a heat-proof bowl. Pour pickling liquid over the red onions. Let rest at room temperature until cool, then transfer to a storage container and refrigerate.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with other vegetables. Asparagus, fennel, celery, jalapenos, etc. If you opt to try pickling fruit, let the pickling liquid cool completely before pouring it over delicate fruit like berries.
