Description
These Hot Honey Pickled Red Onions have a magical blend of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors that elevate any dish, making them a must-have condiment for your culinary repertoire.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup (240 ml) apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) hot honey
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) peppercorns
- Optional: Thinly sliced fresh chili (like jalapeño) for extra heat
Instructions
- Slice the red onions and place them in a clean glass jar.
- Heat in a medium saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, hot honey, kosher salt, and peppercorns over medium heat until salt dissolves (2-3 minutes).
- Pour the hot brine over the onions, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- Cool for 10 minutes at room temperature, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Serve immediately or let sit for better flavor.
Notes
For best results, avoid boiling the vinegar and honey mixture; it should be heated just to dissolve the salt. These pickled onions can be made up to a week in advance, and the flavors deepen as they sit.
