How To Make refrigerator pickled onions

  • 1
    Pack sliced onion into a one quart jar. Usually takes about 1 large red onion.
  • 2
    Fill the jar with water to cover the onions then pour the water into a measuring cup.
  • 3
    Note the amount then pour off 1/2 the water.
  • 4
    Add vinegar to the water to bring it back to the original measure.
  • 5
    Place the liquid in a saucepan and add the spices and garlic.
  • 6
    Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • 7
    Pour over the onions in the jar. If you are a little short of covering the onions you can add a little water.
  • 8
    Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator. Keeps up to a month, if they don't disappear first!
