Total Time 45 minutes mins
- 2 large red onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp whole black peppercorns
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 bay leaf
Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Add the peppercorns, coriander seeds, and bay leaf to the saucepan. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Pack the sliced onions into a clean, dry jar. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the onions, making sure they're fully submerged.
Let the jar cool to room temperature, then seal it tightly and refrigerate. The onions will be ready to eat in about 1 hour, but they'll get even better over the next few days.
