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.
- Place onion, black peppercorns and bay leaf in a jar or ceramic container.
- 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.
- Seal with lid and place in refrigerator until ready to use. Pickled onions will keep for up to 2 weeks.
