📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add sliced onions into a 1-pint mason jar; set aside.
2
Combine the vinegars, water, sugar and salt in a medium sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer just for ⏱️ 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar, then remove from heat and add any additional add-ins if using.
3
Carefully pour the solution into the jar with the onions (I do this in the sink using a funnel). Press the onions down with a spoon until submerged in the solution. Let the pickled onions cool to room temperature for ⏱️ 30 minutes, then seal and refrigerate.
