PICKLED RED ONIONS
Adapted from Bon Appetit, January 2010

1 large red onion, halved through core, thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1/2 cinnamon stick

Place onion slices in medium bowl. Bring next 5 ingredients to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Then pour saucepan mixture over onions in bowl.
Cover; cool to room temperature. Chill at least over night. They will turn a beautiful deep pink color.
Can be made 3 weeks ahead! Keep chilled. Drain before serving.
