Prettiest Pickled Onions

This recipe for pickled onions are absolutely the prettiest and easiest thing imaginable. All you need are onions, vinegar and peppercorns!

I really want to pickle everything right now. I’m a huge sucker for the tangy vinegar taste of pickled veggies – everything from cauliflower to carrots! No need to constrain yourself to cucumbers, there are so many other options for pickling and they are all delicious! We have been getting the most gorgeous red onions in our CSA this month and we had the rest of the ingredients on hand, making this a quick and easy recipe. They are so delicious I’ve literally been eating them straight out of the jar! I’m sure they must be lovely on things like burgers or salads, but I haven’t really gotten that far! I’m going to have to whip up an extra batch for our upcoming Memorial Day barbecue because this batch basically devoured.
