5.
Put the onions in the jar, and add the vinegar mixture.
Put all of the onions in the mason jar, pushing them in to pack them tightly. Pour the vinegar mixture over them, making sure that it covers the top of the onions. Place the lid on the jar, and give it a good shake, turning it over a few times to get all the pickling liquid to the top.

6.
Let pickle for at least an hour.
Let the jar stand for about an hour. Invert and jostle once or twice in that period to mix the ingredients. After an hour the pickled onions are ready. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The longer they are stored, the more intensely pickled they become.
