Although these pickled onions are tasty on their own, we also liked them on the Roast Pork Sandwiches. You can prepare them up to two days in advance.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: about 1/4 cup)

Ingredients

  • 2  cups  red wine vinegar
  • 1  cup  sugar
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 4  cups  thinly vertically sliced red onion (about 2 large)

Preparation

Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan; cook over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, stirring frequently. Pour vinegar mixture over onion; let stand 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Chill. Drain before serving.
