Quick Pickled Red Onions

Dear Turkey,

On your rice and beans,

Or on pasta or salad,

Or just in your mouth

Quick Pickled Red Onions

Ingredients:

- 1 large red onion

- 1/2 t sugar

- 1/2 t salt

- 1-3 c vinegar (I used cider, but any kind will work, although regular distilled might be too strong)

- 5 peppercorns

Instructions:

- Slice the onion into thin rings. Boil a kettle full of water (at least a couple of cups). Place the onions into a colander and slowly pour the boiling water over them to blanch them (I learned this on the internet and I highly recommend not skipping this step).

- Put the onions, sugar, salt, and peppercorns into a quart jar or a container that will make a decent seal. Cover with vinegar, stir or shake a little if you can, and store in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks. Make these at least 30 minutes before you plan to eat them the first time. 

Enjoy,

Tofu
