Ingredients

2 medium red onions, thinly sliced into half-moons
¾ cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
5 black peppercorns

Directions

Bring 3 to 4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan.
Stuff onion slices into a sterilized 1-pint Mason jar. Pour boiling water over onions to fill the jar; let rest for 10 seconds. Hold a mesh strainer over the jar to keep onions in place, then drain water. Repeat twice more to cook onions slightly.
Mix vinegar, salt, and sugar together in a bowl until salt and sugar are dissolved. Add peppercorns. Pour vinegar solution over onions. Seal the jar and shake well.
Refrigerate until flavor develops, at least 1 hour or longer, before serving.

Tips

You can use kosher or pickling salt for the sea salt, and cider vinegar for the white wine vinegar.
