Seven More Days
There are seven more days until Christmas Eve which means there is still plenty of time to make a batch of pickled red onions. Since pickled red onions don’t need to sit in the pickling solution long to acquire a nice pickled flavor, there is plenty of time to whip up a batch or two. Make a double batch to give as a hostess gift if you’ll be visiting over the holidays. Pickled Red Onions will keep refrigerated for 3 weeks or longer, so get busy pickling.

Don’t Have Time
If you don’t have time right now to fart around and make pickled red onions hey, don’t sweat it! It’s only a suggestion:) Don’t forget to add pickled red onions to your summer “to do” list. I forget to add that pickled red onions are fantastic with grilled meats such as hamburgers, brats, hot dogs and chicken breast sandwiches.
Vinegar
We used Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar for this recipe. I prefer the taste of apple cider vinegar but if you only have regular or white vinegar use that. I would say that you could even use a white wine or red wine vinegar and maybe even tarragon vinegar. Personally though, I’d lay off the balsamic vinegar. I find it hard to believe that balsamic vinegar would work but if you try it and it works, leave me a comment and let me know.
