This recipe makes a small batch, or one jar. If wanting to make more like 2 jars, simply double the recipe. Also, if using larger red onions, you will need more brine. I love my pickled red onions a little on the sweeter side so I add more sugar. Feel free to add less. Garlic lovers, you can also add in a fresh clove of garlic along with the cinnamon stick, juniper berries and fresh herbs. Smashed for mild garlic flavor, or sliced for stronger garlic flavor.General rule for quick pickled vegetables: 1 lb. prepped/cut vegetables for every 1 cup vinegar, 1 cup water + salt. If you need more pickling brine, simply double or triple the recipe. ****See note below regarding the sugar.
