Description

These quick-pickled onion rings are a vibrant, zesty addition to any meal. Made with just one large onion, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and a dash of hot pepper sauce, they offer a perfect balance of tartness and mild heat. The brief boiling step softens the raw bite of the onions, allowing the flavors to penetrate quickly. They are incredibly versatile, adding a bright crunch to hamburgers, cheese sandwiches, or egg salad. This simple recipe requires no canning equipment; just a jar and the refrigerator. Ready in just two days, these pickles keep for up to two months, making them an excellent make-ahead condiment for busy weeknights or weekend gatherings.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the onion into thin slices.
  2. Separate the slices into individual rings.
  3. Place the onion rings into a sterilized jar or container.
  4. Bring water to a boil and pour it over the onions to cover them completely.
  5. Let the onions sit in the hot water until cool, then drain thoroughly.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and hot pepper sauce.
  7. Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
  8. Pour the hot brine over the drained onion rings in the jar.
  9. Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate.
