Pickled Red Onions with Lime – A Tangy, Flavorful Kitchen Staple

• 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced
• 1 lime, thinly sliced
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes or a small piece of sliced jalapeño for a spicy kick

Steps:

1. Prepare the jar. Sterilize a glass jar by washing it thoroughly and drying it with a clean towel.
2. Slice the onions and lime. Thinly slice the red onions and lime, then layer them into the jar.
3. Make the pickling brine. In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, and chili flakes (if using). Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve.
4. Pour the brine. Carefully pour the warm brine over the onions and lime slices, ensuring they are fully submerged.
5. Cool and seal. Let the jar cool to room temperature, then seal it with a lid and refrigerate.
6. Wait and enjoy. Allow the onions to pickle for at least 1-2 hours for a quick pickle or overnight for maximum flavor.
