Directions

When I say quick, I mean quick. Minimal effort, a modest amount of patience (about 30 minutes), and you’ll have some tasty pickles on your hand. I love these with tacos, sandwiches and salads.

  1. Place onion, black peppercorns and bay leaf in a jar or ceramic container.
  2. In a bowl, whisk sugar and salt in boiled water until dissolved. Stir in vinegars. Pour brine over onions in jar, let them sit at room temperature to cool, about 30 minutes.
  3. Seal with lid and place in refrigerator until ready to use. Pickled onions will keep for up to 2 weeks.
