Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- You can sub in your favorite vinegar if you don’t have apple cider vinegar on hand. Unseasoned rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, or using only white vinegar will all work.
- Honey can be used in place of sugar.
- Add in one bay leaf and a pinch of coriander seeds for a delicious flavor variation.
- Transfer to the fridge after 12 hours.
- If you keep them in a container with a tight-fitting lid (like a mason jar), they’ll store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
- If you have leftover raw shallots, try them in Greek Yogurt Egg Salad, Lemon Garlic Pasta, or Chicken and Bacon Risotto.
