Cook Time 1 minute
Overnight Rest 1 day
Total Time 1 day 11 minutes
Course Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Medium Red Onion
  • ¾ Cup Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ Cup H2O
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt another salt will work but needs to be fine grain
  • TBS Raw Honey

Instructions
 

  • Cut onion into thin slices. Approximately 2” lengths work well.
  • In a small pot mix the ACV, H2O, salt and honey together.
  • Put on the stove and turn on medium heat for one minute. Stir while you do it to dissolve salt and honey. You only want this to be warm enough to dissolve everything. You don’t want it to cook. If there is a little salt in the pan it is fine.
  • Put the onions in a glass jar. Fill with liquid. If there is not enough liquid you can add a little water to cover the onions completely. If your onion was very large you may need to make a little more solution.
  • Store in the fridge overnight. They are good to use the next day but will taste best after 3 days.

Notes

TO MAKE THIS SUPER FAST-Heat the solution to a simmer and pour over onions. They will be ready in 15 minutes, but the recipe will not be raw.
TO MAKE THIS VEGAN-Simply replace the honey with Organic Cane Sugar.
