    Preparation Steps

    1

    Peel the red onion and slice it thinly.

    2

    In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, water, honey, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the honey and salt are completely dissolved.

    3

    Peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. Lightly crush the black peppercorns with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor.

    4

    In a clean, airtight jar, layer the red onion slices, then add the garlic and crushed peppercorns.

    5

    Pour the hot brine over the onions, then gently press down with a spoon to ensure they are fully submerged.

    6

    Let the jar cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then seal it and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

    7

    Serve the sweet and sour pickled red onions with burgers, tacos, salads, or alongside meat dishes. Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
