Got 5 Minutes + 6 Ingredients?
Aren’t the best recipes the ones that take only moments of your precious time to prepare? Prep only takes 5 minutes or less, and making the apple cider vinegar and honey brine only takes 1 or 2.
The hardest part about this recipe is waiting overnight for the onions to pickle in the brine – and that’s just because I can’t wait to eat them. Once you smell the way the onions release their sharp but sweet aroma after you add the brine to the jar, you’ll totally get what I mean!
