👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Slice the onions very thinly (use a sharp knife or mandoline) and separate into rings.

2. Divide the onion slices between clean, sterilized jars. Add garlic and peppercorns if using.

3. In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Heat gently, stirring until sugar and salt are fully dissolved.

4. Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly (warm, not scalding).

5. Pour the brine over the onions in the jars, making sure all onions are submerged.

6. Leave the jars uncovered to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, seal and refrigerate.

7. Time to eat: Very thin slices may be ready in ~1 hour; for thicker slices, wait overnight. Table for Seven+1

8. Store in the fridge — these pickled onions stay good for up to 2 weeks. Table for Seven+1
