Pickled Onions are a blank canvas for experimenting. Add some chipotle peppers to the brine and kick up the heat a bit. Mustard seeds and some spices and its something completely different. Fresh Jalapenos and garlic for some zip, there are tons of options.

As a side note you will most likely have extra liquid depending upon the size of the onions you used. You can add extra onions if they are small. They syrup is good for a glaze on pork or chicken, but that’s another story. Enjoy!
