Step 1

Start by selecting fresh, firm onions. Red onions work best for pickles because of their mild flavour.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine vinegar, water, and salt. Add sugar to balance the tanginess.

Step 3

To enhance the flavor, introduce garlic cloves, ginger slices, or even a bay leaf into the mix.

Step 4

Blanch the onions in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes and then transfer them into cold water.

Step 5

In a clean glass jar, alternate layers of onions and your pickling spices.

Step 6

Once your jar is packed with layers, seal it tightly and store it in a cool, dry place. Let it sit for at least 24 hours to marinate.

Step 7

After a few days, your homemade onion pickles will be ready to enjoy!
