Pickled Red Onion

Ingredients

• 1 large red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced
• ¾ cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp fine sea salt
• 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (such as maple syrup, honey, sugar, etc.)

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, stir together the vinegar, salt and your desired amount of sweetener. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a simmer.
2. Place the thinly-sliced onions in a small bowl or pint-sized mason jar. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onions. Stir until combined. (Or if using a mason jar, place the lid on top and give the jar a quick shake.) Let the onions marinate for 30 minutes.
3. Serve immediately. Or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
