Ingredients List for Marinated Onions 

Two jars 10 to 14 fl oz (30 to 40 cl):

  • 1 lb (500 g) little onions (or mini shallots)
  • 1 lemon
  • 5 fl oz (15 cl) of apple cider vinegar
  • 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of salt
  • A dozen fresh sage leaves

Directions

1. Boil some water, then dip the onions for 2 minutes to make peeling easier. Drain, let cool, and peel the onions.

2. Boil a large pot of water again, add the lemon juice, and cook the onions for 3 minutes.
3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to clean jars. Add the sage leaves.

4. Boil the vinegar with 15 ounces of water, sugar, and salt. Cover the onions with this mixture.
5. Let cool, cover the jars, and place them in the refrigerator.

6. And now the bad news: you’ll have to wait for one month to taste your pickled onions!
You’ll be able to keep them for one year.
