Quick Pickled Vidalia and Red Onions image

This quick method of making pickles does not involve sterilizing or sealing the jar. The colors of these two-toned pickles are most impressive when they're first made, but they taste as good after the color fades.

Yield Makes one 1/2-gallon jar

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup water
3 cups vinegar
6 tablespoons salt
6 tablespoons sugar
2 Vidalia onions, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rings
2 red onions, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rings
1 garlic shoot (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash one glass 1/2-gallon jar with lid in hot, soapy water, and rinse well.
  • Combine 3/4 cup water, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook until sugar and salt have dissolved; remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Fill jar halfway with either Vidalia- or red-onion slices. Add garlic shoot; cover with remaining onion slices, packing them with the back of a clean spoon. Leave 3/4 inch of space beneath the rim. Pour hot liquid over onions, covering them by 1/4 inch and leaving 1/2 inch of space beneath the rim. Place lid on jar, and let stand until cool. Store in the refrigerator; serve within a week.
