INGREDIENTS:
1 ea red onion
2 cups champagne vinegar
1 cup water

For the liquid: Next, combine the water, vinegar and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil.
For the pickles: After the mixture is boiling, put the onions into the liquid and bring back to a boil. Turn off the heat and cover the onions with a piece of plastic wrap. Let the onions cool while submerged in the liquid. Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
