HOW TO MAKE PICKLED RED ONIONS QUICK WAY
First, slice he onions thinly. That will help to absorb more of the vinegar mixture and soften faster. Pack them tightly into a mason jar. These are my favorite jars for pickled onions and other pickled food.
In a small saucepan combine vinegar, water, sweetener, salt and peppercorns if using. Bring to a simmer.
Pour the mixture over the onions and push down the onions with a spoon to completely cover them.
Let the onions cool for 25-30 minutes. Serve or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
