Steps:

• Peel and very thinly slice the onion. I like to use my mandoline set on the 1/8 inch setting. If your rings are very large, you can slice them in half.
• Heat the vinegar, water, and spices in a saucepan until it comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the sliced onions, giving everything a stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes, then pack the onions into a wide mouthed pint sized mason jar. Pour the liquid, including spices, over the onions. Make sure the onions are completely submerged, if you need more liquid, add a bit more vinegar. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate.

PICKLED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the onions and cook for 30 seconds, then drain in a colander. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a sterilized glass container with a tight lid, such as a pint canning jar. Add the thyme. You want to make sure there is enough headroom at the top of the jar so that the vinegar solution can cover the onions.
• In a second medium pot, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions in the jars, making sure the onions are completely submerged. Let cool slightly.
• Cover and refrigerate until the onions turn pink and are seasoned throughout, at least 8 hours. Drain the onions and serve. The onions can be refrigerated in the pickling liquid for up to 2 weeks.
