Top your tacos, burgers, avocado toast, and sandwiches with a burst of flavor!

Ingredients:
4 c. peeled and very thinly sliced red onions (a mandolin works great!)
1 c. Tubby Olive Champagne White Vinegar
½ c. water
¼ c. Tubby Olive 18 Year Traditional or Tubby Olive White Premium Balsamic
½ c. sugar
1 Tbsp. salt
2 tsp. mustard seeds
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. coriander seeds
½ tsp. peppercorns

Directions:
Place the red onions in a 1 liter (4 cup capacity) sterilized glass jar. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining ingredients until the sugar has dissolved then pour over the red onions, ensuring the onions are completely covered. Place the lid on the jar and allow to cool before refrigerating for at least 24 hours before serving. These pickles will last for up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Use on tacos, burgers, sandwiches and more!

Ever tried The Tubby Olive’s Dessert Balsamics? Dark Chocolate, Espresso, Black Cherry and Raspberry Balsamics, known as the 4 “Dessert Balsamics”, are delicious drizzled over fresh fruit, pound cake or even ice cream! But they’re also wonderful over steak, roasted vegetables and seafood. Marinate chicken in Black Cherry Balsamic whisked together with Chipotle Olive Oil, drizzle Espresso Balsamic and Roasted Walnut Oil over grilled asparagus or Brussels Sprouts, reduce Dark Chocolate Balsamic and pour over steak with crumbled blue cheese on top and you will be amazed!
