small mason jar
small saucepan
measuring cup
- 2.5 oz shallots about 2 medium
- ⅓ cup water
- ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¾ tsp sugar
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme optional
Wash and peel shallots. Slice in half lengthwise, then slice as thinly as possible with a knife. (You can also use a mandoline for this if you prefer)
Prepare your pickling liquid by combining the water, red wine vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.
Fill a small mason jar with the sliced shallots and two sprigs of thyme. Pour the pickling liquid from the saucepan into a medium measuring cup. Carefully pour the pickling liquid over the shallots and thyme until they are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
