Bean soup, liverwurst, salmon, and especially hot dogs and hamburgers would all be terrific with some pickled onions on the side.
How to Make Pickled Red Onions
All you really need to make pickled red onions is some sliced red onion, vinegar, and sugar. There’s lots of leeway with the spices and herbs used.
Spices to Use in Pickled Red Onions
For this batch, I used cinnamon, cloves, star anise, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes. You could easily throw in some ginger, swap out the chile flakes for some cumin, or substitute allspice for the cloves.
The Best Jars and Containers to Store Pickled Red Onions
Because these are refrigerator pickled onions, you can use any glass jar with a tight lid. Traditional canning jars work but so will a glass spaghetti sauce jar or glass pickle jar—with their lids—that you ran through the dishwasher and sanitized. Do not use plastic for these pickled red onions.
