Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups thinly sliced red onion
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon black peppercorns
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon coriander seed
- 1 whole dried bay leaf
- 2 cloves garlic smashed
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, bring apple cider vinegar and water to a simmer over medium heat. In a small prep bowl, combine all remaining seasonings.
- Slice the raw onions thinly. Place in the jar where you intend to store them.
- Once the apple cider-water mixture begins to simmer, add in seasonings and stir to combine.
- As soon as the mixture comes to a boil, remove from the heat and pour half of the liquid over the onion, pressing down the slices with the back of a wooden spoon. Add the remaining liquid, continuing to press down the onion slices.
- Cover jar with lid and give the jar a gentle shake to combine ingredients with the onions. Set aside to quick pickle for about 30 minutes. Serve right away, or cool to room temperature and place in the fridge in the pickling liquid, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
- Once the apple cider-water mixture begins to simmer, add in seasonings and stir to combine.
