#3211 - Pickled Red Onions

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 large red onion
1/2 tsp. white sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup cider vinegar
boiling water

Thinly slice the red onion, then separate the slices into rings. Place all of the onions rings into a sieve and place the sieve in your sink. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil, and slowly pour the boiling water all over the onions. Let the onions drain completely. In a bowl add cider vinegar, salt and white sugar--stir until mixed. Place the drained onions into a glass jar and pour the vinegar mixture over the onions--place the lid on the jar and shake gently. Refrigerate overnight before eating. Note: recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc.
