A delightful recipe for pickled onions, perfect as a side or topping.
Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, cinnamon stick, salt, cloves, and allspice in a saucepan.
Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Simmering helps to infuse the spices into the liquid.
Slice the onions into rings and separate them.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and avoid crushing the onion.
Place the onion rings in a glass baking dish.
Ensure the onions are evenly spread for uniform pickling.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the onions.
Pour slowly to avoid splashing and ensure all onions are submerged.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
For best results, let the onions marinate overnight.
Drain the onions and serve as desired.
Serve chilled for a refreshing taste.
