Step 1

Thinly slice the red onions.  I like to make mine bit sized so I cut the onion in half and then thinly slice it from there.  You can make the slices are long or short as you like.

Step 2

Either in a large mason jar or bowl, add the garlic, peppercorns, salt and maple syrup.  Stir until combined and then pack in all of your onion slices.  If making in a jar, make sure to press them down so you can fit as many in as you can.

Step 3

Pour in the vinegar and water.  At this point, if all the of onions are not fully covered you can add in extra vinegar or water until they are.

Step 4

Tighten the lid on the jar and shake until all ingredients are evenly distributed.  If making in a bowl, just stir until combined.

Step 5

Cover and refrigerate overnight, but can be refrigerate up to about 3 weeks.
