Recipe Multiplier

  • 4 ea Medium Red Onions
  • 1 cup Apple Juice
  • 2 cup Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 ½ cup Sugar

Instructions

  • Slice red onions about ⅛" thick.
    The thickness of the slices should be consistent to allow the marinade to evenly pickle the onions.
    I used a mandolin but you can cut by hand, they can be half rings or whole rings.
    sliced red onions
  • Mix together the apple juice, red wine vinegar and sugar.
    Use a whisk to combine the ingredients and whisk to dissolve the sugar.

  • Once the sugar has dissolved pour over the sliced onions.
    Use a container that will allow the marinade to cover the onions.
  • Best if marinated overnight but can be used after a few hours.
