PICKLED RED ONIONS WITH HABANERO PEPPERS


  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 16 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 medium-large sized red onions, sliced thin (about 1/4” thick)
  • 1 habanero pepper, de-seeded and sliced thin (about 1/8” thick)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup sugar (if you are omitting the peppers cut the sugar back to 1/4 cup)
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 cup vinegar (apple cider vinegar or white vinegar work well

Instructions

  1. Fill a clean 32 oz. glass jar with a handful of sliced red onions and then add a bit of sliced habaneros. Continue layering until the jar is almost full.
  2. Heat water, sugar & salt in a pot, stirring until salt & sugar are dissolved.
  3. Once sugar is dissolved, remove pot from heat and add in the vinegar.
  4. Pour the brine over the prepared onions & peppers, leaving about 1/2” headspace at the top of the jar. Seal with a lid and allow the jar to cool down to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.
  5. It’s best to wait 24 hours before eating, this will allow all of the flavors to fully develop. But if you want a quicker pickle, wait at least 4 hours.
