Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Bring 3 to 4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan.
Step 2
Stuff onion slices into a sterilized 1-pint Mason jar. Pour boiling water over onions to fill the jar; let rest for 10 seconds. Hold a mesh strainer over the jar to keep onions in place, then drain water. Repeat twice more to cook onions slightly.
Step 3
Mix vinegar, salt, and sugar together in a bowl until salt and sugar are dissolved. Add peppercorns. Pour vinegar solution over onions. Seal the jar and shake well.
Step 4
Refrigerate until flavor develops, at least 1 hour or longer, before serving.
