Cook Time
Ingredients
- 1-2 onions (medium= 2, large = 1), quartered then sliced
- 1/4 C. Water
- 1/2 C. sugar
- 1 C. white vinegar
- 1-2 T. salt, less for refined salt
- 1/8 t. chili/red pepper flakes
- 1/8 t. garlic powder
- 1/4 t. salad seasonings
Easy Prep.
- Use a clean ball canning jar and pour bowling water to fill jar and on the jar lid and seal. Since this will be saved in fridge you will not need a new lid and seal (like you would in long term canning)
- Peel and quarter the onions and then slice the quarters. Pack the onions down in the jar. Use a skewer to help pack the onions down
- Cover onions with boiling water. Let stand for about 5 minutes and pour out the water.
- Mix the ingredients above. Pour over the onions. Use the skewer to break up any air pockets. Seal with the lid and rotate the jar a few times.
- Store on the counter at room temperature for one day. Place in fridge for three days. They are ready to use after three days.
