The trick to making truly quick pickled onions is to slice the onions very thin (about 1/8-inch)

Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 medium red onions, halved and thinly sliced

  • 2 cinnamon sticks

  • 6 whole cloves

  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 cup (240 ml) apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice

  • 3 tablespoons to 8 tablespoons (8 to 100 grams) sugar, see notes

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

Directions

  • Add sliced onions to a medium bowl. Pour enough boiling water over onions so that they are covered. Count to 5 then drain. Add the onions to glass jars (or a food safe glass container with lid).
  • Toast cinnamon, cloves, and the red pepper flakes until fragrant in a small saucepan over medium heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar, lime juice, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, and salt.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar and salt have dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste for sweetness then add more sugar as needed.
  • Pour brine over the onions. Allow to stand at room temperature until cooled. Serve or cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 weeks.
