3 pcs. Bay leaves

4-5 pcs. Red onions depending on size

Steps

1
Heat the vinegar mixture
Combine sugar, vinegar, peppercorns and bay leaves in a saucepan and heat to 105 ºC. Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.

Prepare the onions
Peel the onions and cut them in half. Then cut them into thin slices. Divide the onions into 1-2 glass jars. Slightly press the onions into the jar to make room for more.

Pour the vinegar mixture into the jars
Carefully pour the vinegar mixture over the onions until they are completely covered. Place the lids on the jars. Let the onions cool a bit on the kitchen table and then transfer them to the fridge.
