- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar

Slice onions thin and place in a jar with a lid. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, stir together the apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and water. Cook on medium high heat until the mixture comes to a simmer. Pour the hot mixture over the onions in the jar and cover with the lid and shake the jar.
Let the onions marinate for two hours at room temperature. Make sure the onions are submerged in the liquid. Serve or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
You will need a jar with a lid to make this recipe.
Once you add your onions to the jar and top with the liquid, make sure you press down on the onions so they are fully submerged in the liquid.
