Ingredients

  • 1 medium red onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 5 whole peppercorns
  • 3 sprigs thyme

Instructions

  • In a 1 pint mason jar add in the red onions and thyme tightly. Place the jar in the sink so that if you spill the brine later it is okay.
  • Combine the water, vinegars, honey, salt and peppercorns in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture up to a simmer and stir to dissolve the salt. Carefully pour the mixture into the jar. I had the perfect amount.
  • Press the onions down with a fork genty to release any air bubbles. You may need to run it around the sides too. Let them cool for 20-30 min. Serve immediately if needed or they keep well refrigerated for 2-3 weeks covered.
