===== INGREDIENTS =====


  * 1 large red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced*
  * 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  * 1/4 cup water
  * 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  * 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (such as maple syrup, honey, sugar, etc.)
  * 1 tablespoons pickling spice blend

===== INSTRUCTIONS =====

  * Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan
  * Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a simmer.
  * Place the thinly-sliced onions in a mason jar.
  * Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onions, screw on the lid, and shake the onions briefly until they are evenly coated with the vinegar mixture.
