Steps:
- Pour the vinegar into a pan, add the sugar, sea salt, the spices and bay leaf, and bring to a simmer. After 1 min, check that the sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove from the heat.

When cool enough to handle, pack the onion rings into a 500g sterilised jar (see tip below). Pour over the warm vinegar and seal. Cool, then chill and leave to pickle for 2 hrs. Will keep for 6 months unopened, or 2 weeks in the fridge once opened.

Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Small, firm red onions are best for pickling. Avoid any onions that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help the onions absorb the pickling liquid more evenly.
- Use a clean jar: Make sure the jar you use for pickling is clean and sterilized. This will help to prevent contamination.
- Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will affect the flavor of the pickled onions. Choose a vinegar that you like the taste of.
- Add some sugar: Sugar helps to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. You can use white sugar, brown sugar, or honey.
- Add some spices: Spices can add flavor and depth to the pickled onions. Some popular spices to use include mustard seeds, celery seeds, and peppercorns.
- Let the onions pickle for at least 24 hours: The longer the onions pickle, the more flavorful they will be. However, you can eat them after just a few hours if you prefer.
Conclusion:
Pickled red onions are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are perfect for adding a pop of color and flavor to salads, sandwiches, tacos, and more. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can easily make your own pickled red onions at home. So next time you're looking for a new way to add flavor to your meals, give pickled red onions a try!
