🌰 Mary Berry Pickled Onions Ingredients

• 1 medium red onion, very thinly sliced

• ¼ cup distilled white vinegar
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or additional white vinegar
• 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

👩‍🍳 Mary Berry Pickled Onions Instructions

1. Pack the onions into a 1-pint mason jar or similar heat-safe vessel. Place the jar in the sink to catch any splashes of hot vinegar later.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then carefully pour the mixture into the jar over the onions.
3. Use a butter knife or spoon to press the onions down into the vinegar and pop any air bubbles in the jar. Let the pickled onions cool to room temperature (about 20 to 30 minutes), at which point they should be sufficiently pickled for serving.
4. Cover and refrigerate leftover pickled onions for later. Quick-pickled onions are best consumed within three days, but they are kept for 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Use Red Onions. Red onions are best for pickling because their taste is softer and their color is bright.
• Don’T Skip The Maple Syrup Or Honey. The sweetness balances out the sour taste of the vinegar, making for a well-rounded taste.
• Adjust The Spiciness To Your Liking. You can decide how hot your pickled onions are by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
• Slice The Onions Thinly. Thin cuts let the pickling brine soak into the onions evenly, which makes them taste and feel better.
• Let Them Pickle For At Least 24 Hours. Waiting is the key! Putting the onions in a marinade for a day or more makes them taste better and gives them the right amount of tang.
