Tips:
- Use firm red onions: This will ensure they maintain their texture during pickling.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them absorb the pickling liquid more evenly.
- Use a variety of vinegars: White vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and rice vinegar all work well. You can also experiment with flavored vinegars, such as balsamic or red wine vinegar.
- Add some sweetness: Sugar or honey can help balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
- Add some heat: Red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper can add a bit of a kick.
- Use a variety of spices: Bay leaves, cloves, and mustard seeds are all common pickling spices. You can also experiment with other spices, such as coriander seeds or fennel seeds.
- Let the onions pickle for at least 24 hours: This will give them time to absorb the flavors of the pickling liquid.
