There are little tricks to make use of left-overs products. Quick pickling of red onions is one of them and very handy when you cook for two. This way you can use all of the onion, instead of throwing parts of it away.

Instructions
Place all the onion sliced in a 1 cups Mason Jar.
Combine water, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt and peppercorns in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Pour mixture over the onions and press the onions down to get rid of air bubbles.
Allow to cool to room temperature. This will take about 25 minutes.
Store in fridge for max. 2-3 weeks. (NOTE 3)
Notes
Instead of using a mix of white vinegar and apple cider vinegar, you can use white vinegar only.
Instead of maple syrup you can use sugar or honey. (honey is not vegan).
Quick pickled onions have to be refrigerated at all times. This is not a canned product as the jar and ingredients are not sterilized.
