Ingredients

2 - red onions
1 cup - water
1 cup - apple cider or white vinegar
3 tablespoons - honey
2 teaspoons - salt
½ tsp - red pepper flakes
½ tsp - black peppercorns

Instructions

Slice 2 red onions into bite size pieces.
Tightly pack the onions into a clean 1-quart jar. In a small saucepan bring the water, vinegar, honey, salt, red pepper flakes, and black peppercorns to a boil.
Allow the liquid to boil for one minute and pour it over the onions in the jar.
Let the liquid settle over the onions before pouring out any leftover liquid.
Sometimes it takes a minute or two for all of the air to bubble up to the surface.
Top the jar off with as much liquid as fits.
Once the jar is filled to the brim with onions and the vinegar mixture, seal the jar.
