Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Mason jar
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 red onion large
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp stevia
  • 4 stalks fresh dill
  • 1 jalapeno
  • salt and pepper to taste

Optional

  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp garlic chopped
  • 1 tsp peppercorn flakes

Instructions

  • Thinly slice your red onion, roughly ⅛” thick. Slice jalapeno in similar fashion.
  • Pour white vinegar and apple cider vinegar in a mason jar. Sprinkle in stevia. Then, tighten the lid and shake until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Place red onions, jalapenos, dill, salt, and pepper in the jar. Ensure that the vegetables are completely submerged. 
  • Mix in additional seasonings if you have any.
  • Refrigerate for 24-48 hours. 
  • Once the onions are bright pink and tender, they'll be perfectly pickled! Enjoy!

Notes

Store the pickled onions in the mason jar that you make them in. Submerged in vinegar, your onions will keep in the fridge for up to 3 wees.
Let the onions marinate for at least 24 hours so they soak up all the flavors. Also, slice the onions thin! I usually aim for about ⅛” thickness. You can use a vegetable slicer if you want to be exact.
