Tips

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks maximum. Pickled onions don't last quite as long as other pickled vegetables.We like to store ours in vacuum seal containers. They tend to stay fresher for a bit longer! Make sure the onions are evenly sliced: Thinly sliced is best when pickling onions. However if you go for a thicker slice, just make sure the onions are around the same thickness.
