Pickled Red Onions

I love having a jar or two of pickled red onions in my refrigerator.  A lovely pink condiment that will add extra crunch and tanginess to any salad, burger or taco!  Be creative and change up the spices to suit your fancy.

Ingredients:

• 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup ACV
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp peppercorns
• ½-1 tbsp xylitol or other sugar substitute (swerve, erythritol)
• 1 tsp oregano

Directions:

1. Peel and thinly slice the onion.  I prefer half moon slices but you could also slice into full rings.
2. Add onion, garlic, peppercorns and oregano to a mixing bowl.
3. In a small saucepan, bring vinegars, water, salt and sweetener to a light boil over medium heat.
4. Pour hot liquid over the onions and stir.
5. Allow to sit on the counter for about 1 hour.  Gently stir several times throughout the hour.
6. Transfer onions to a glass jar (I used two smaller jars).
7. Store in the refrigerator.  They will keep nicely for several weeks.
