- 2.5 cups white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- 1 large red onion, very thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- fresh thyme sprigs, optional
Combine the vinegar and sugar in a saucepan, stir until the sugar has dissolved, and bring to a boil.
Add the sliced onions, smashed garlic, and vinegar to a glass jar with the fresh thyme sprigs (if using). Let them cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Adding thyme and garlic increases flavor, but is not necessary.
- Pickled onions can be served as soon as they are cool, but best results are seen when making them a day in advance.
