Quick-Pickled #RedOnions

By Oliver Strand

June 3, 2026 (original recipe is from 2012)

"Think of this pickled red onion recipe as a versatile blueprint. Crisp, punchy, and ready after about an hour of hands-off time, they’re one of the easiest ways to add bright, tangy flavor to everyday meals.

Keep a jar in the fridge and add them to tacos, breakfast sandwiches, burgers, grain bowls, salads, or just some roasted vegetables. Their sharp bite mellows as they soak in the brine, while their signature crunch remains. The longer they sit, the more deeply flavored and vibrant they become—making them a simple make-ahead condiment you’ll reach for again and again."

Recipe information:

Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Yield: Makes about ½ cup

Ingredients

½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. sugar
1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 red onion, thinly sliced

Preparation

Whisk ½ cup apple cider vinegar, 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 1 cup water in a small bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. Place 1 red onion, thinly sliced, in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid; pour vinegar mixture over. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.

Do Ahead: Pickled red onions can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill. Drain onions before using."

Staying on the pickled onion shite.... I've just unjarred Fart Starters, Ring Stingers, and Ass Blasters pickled onions from The Funky Food Co.

Three jars of increasingly hot chilli pickled onions. One middle-aged man with questionable decision-making skills.

Q: What could possibly go wrong?
A: I got chilli in my eye and ballsed up the heat rankings on camera. The video stays up, mistakes and all, because that's how we roll.

I'm back on my pickled onion nonsense again. 🧅

This time it's a sweet double-header from The Funky Food Co: Honey vs Apple Cider pickled onions.

Regular readers will know I've been deeply suspicious of sweet pickled onions. But something's been changing my mind over the last few months...

One of these scored highly. The other... Which is which? You'll have to read to find out.

Also: a lovely bit of independent pottery gets a mention.

We take a brief break from the Gin content to return to our more usual fare: Pickled Onions.

This time, it's Review #14, featuring the brutally hot Dr. Burnorium's Ghost Pepper Psycho Onions. They are not for the faint of heart. Or tongue.

I've stared into the brine once more. This time, it was Bartons. A journey into aggressive mediocrity and unwelcome 1980s buffet flashbacks. My soul needs a holiday. The full, harrowing account is now on the blog.

I've #blogged again....

The people (well, two of them) demanded I review Garner's pickled onions. Who am I to deny my adoring/tolerating public?

I've done the hard work so you don't have to. Prepare yourselves for the latest, and arguably most crucial, chapter in my entirely unasked-for, pickle-based odyssey.

Full review is up. Try to contain your excitement.

I've once again #blogged. Sorry.

I have inexplicably dedicated another portion of my finite time on this planet to the serious business of eating pickled onions and writing about them. This time, it was two from The Funky Food Co. The results of this vital research are now available for your consumption. Or not. It's your life.

I done #blogged again....

Some are called to greatness; others have it thrust upon them. After an overwhelming groundswell of popular demand (from two people, to be precise), I had no choice but to take up the mantle and review the legendary Garner's Pickled Onions. It is a heavy burden, but one I bear for you, the people.

I've been pondering the big questions again. Free will, the meaning of life... and whether Marmite belongs on a pickled onion. The universe may be vast and uncaring, but at least it contains new things to pickle. My latest video is up. Watch how you go.

I #blogged - Unjaring Waitrose Pickled Onions

Another week, another descent into preserve-based madness. This time, I'm unjaring Waitrose pickled onions while pondering the illusion of free will. As you do. The whole questionable journey is on the blog.

In the noble pursuit of knowledge, one must be prepared to retract, recalibrate, and republish. My previous assertions on balsamic vinegar's role in pickling have been... re-evaluated. Read the full, rigorous report here.

Have to say, I'm having fun doing this ridiculous #PickledOnions shite. Playing around with recording videos, creating weblog "content" and generally leaning into the humour of a 53 year old bloke pretending to be an internet influencer.
It's a good distraction at a time when my mental health is a touch fragile.

<Influencer Speak On>
Dropping my latest content masterpiece! ✨ My relentless pursuit of vinegary validation has resonated, so I'm giving the people what they want: a reaction video opening "The Dogs Bollocks" pickled onions. This isn't just an appraisal; it's a cultural event.
