PICKLED RED ONIONS
Zesty pickled red onions are sour, salty and sweet. They are a multi-purpose condiment that make for a zippy and flavorful addition to tacos, burgers, sandwiches, roast meats-you name it. It may seem somewhat silly to par-cook them for 30 seconds, but this quick cooking process softens them and makes them more receptive to the vinegar and seasonings.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the onions and cook for 30 seconds, then drain in a colander. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a sterilized glass container with a tight lid, such as a pint canning jar. Add the thyme. You want to make sure there is enough headroom at the top of the jar so that the vinegar solution can cover the onions.
- In a second medium pot, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions in the jars, making sure the onions are completely submerged. Let cool slightly.
- Cover and refrigerate until the onions turn pink and are seasoned throughout, at least 8 hours. Drain the onions and serve. The onions can be refrigerated in the pickling liquid for up to 2 weeks.
