Ingredients
- 1 large red onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp whole peppercorns
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tbsp salt

Instructions
- Make the pickling liquid – In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the vinegar, water, peppercorns, garlic, salt, and sweetener. Heat until it just starts to simmer, stirring until the salt and sweetener are fully dissolved.
- Prepare the onions – Slice the red onion in half, then cut into very thin strips. Place the sliced onions in a clean jar.
- Pour and cover – Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onions, making sure they are fully submerged. Seal the jar and gently shake to distribute everything evenly.
- Let them pickle – Let the onions sit for at least 30 minutes, or until they turn bright pink and slightly softened.
- Store – Serve right away or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The flavor will continue to develop over time.
