- 1 small red onion, sliced thin
- 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar (or vinegar of your choice, white and red wine both work great too)

Slice onions and add to a small pint size mason jar, then in a small sauce pan, combine all other ingredients and cook over medium-high heat until mixture begins to simmer. Pour the hot mixture to cover onions in mason jar, stir well and tighten lid on jar.
