Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 red onion sliced thin and uniformly
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp date sugar can use maple syrup
  • 1 tsp whole black pepper
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes- optional for more heat

Instructions
 

  • Take a deep sauce pan and on low heat, add the vinegars, water, date sugar and salt. Let the mixture simmer for 4-5 min until it starts to boil.
    In the meantime, thinly slice red onions in circles while trying to keep thickness uniform.
    Put the onion slices in a mason jar and gently press them to the bottom.
    Now pour the hot vinegar mixture in the mason jar with onions, to submerge onions.
    Then add the black peppercorns and fennel.
    Let the jar sit on the counter for 20 min. Then put a tight lid and refrigerate the jar. These pickled red onions are good for 2-3 weeks.
