Pickled Red Onions - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon peppercorn
4 medium red onions, sliced very thinly

Preparation

Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and pepercorns.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Place onion slices in a colander.
Pour boiling water over the onion slices and drain well.
(This wilts the onions slightly and allows them to absorb the marinade).
Transfer the onions to the bowl with marinade and mix to coat the onions thoroughly.
Cover and marinate several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
