Notes

  1. You can store the quick pickled onions in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Make sure they are completely covered in vinegar brine the whole time and always take out the onion whit a clean fork.
  2. If they feel slimy or if some onions were not covered with pickling liquid, it's best to throw them out.
