Texas-1015 Tango: Sweet & Spicy Quick-Pickled Onion Delight 🌶️
Quick-Pickled Texas-1015 and Red Onions Recipe 🧅🌶️
Description: Although this recipe originally referred to Vidalia onions, no self-respecting Texan, pseudo-Texan, Texas resident, or anyone else who has ever tasted a Texas-1015 onion (named for their October 15 planting date) would consider using anything else. Any sweet onion will do in a pinch, however, even Vidalias. Prep time does not include overnight setting time.

- 
Combine water, cider vinegar, white vinegar, kosher salt, and sugar in a stainless steel saucepan.

- 
Fill the jar half full with both types of onions.

- 
Pack the onions down until there is about 1/2″ to 3/4″ of head space below the rim of the jar.
