  • Place the onions into the jar and add the remaining ingredients. Pop a lid on and give the jar a good shake to ensure the mixture of juices and vinegar coat the onion slices.
    If making a larger batch, I'd suggest mixing everything in a bowl and decanting the onions into jars ensuring the remaining juice mixture is evenly shared amongst the jars.

Notes

There are plenty of white wine vinegars available, but the higher the quality, the richer and more enhanced the flavour of the onions.
