Step 2: Over medium heat, mix the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan ad let it simmer. Continue to stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely (about five minutes). Let it cool, and pour over the onions in the jars. Set jars aside to cool to room temperature. Then store the onions in the fridge.
