Zesty Jalapeño-Kissed Red Pickled Onions

1. Prep Onions & Jalapeños

Thinly slice the red onion and jalapeño chiles, ensuring the seeds are removed from the jalapeños to manage the spice level.

2. Combine Pickling Ingredients

In a small saucepan, bring the red wine vinegar, granulated sugar, jalapeño slices, and table salt to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves.

3. Pour Over Onions

Place the thinly sliced red onions into a medium, heat-resistant bowl. Once the vinegar mixture has simmered and the sugar has dissolved, carefully pour it over the onions.

4. Cool & Drain

Cover the bowl loosely and allow the onions to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. After cooling, drain the onions and discard the pickling liquid.
