Pink Pickles

Maybe Peter Piper picked a peck of pink pickles?

After making ghetto prison pickles (see previous post),  I looked up a couple quick pickle recipes online and pickled a red onion. Most recipes call for dropping your vegetables and spices in a mason jar, then boiling your vinegar/salt/water solution and pouring it over the vegetables. If making sweet/bread and butter pickles add sugar.  I also recommend a mild white vinegar for pickling (I personally found that apple cider vinegar tastes worse and makes worse looking pickles as it adds a brown color to your vegetables). One large onion filled 2 mason jars for me. Store in the fridge and let it sit for a few days/weeks and you have quick pickles. I opted to pickle red onions and dropped some cucumber in for good measure.
