You can use it the next day or for better flavor let it sit for 3 days. Once opened transfer to the fridge and use within a week.
Notes
Red pearl onions gives the best color. If not available use regular red onions or shallots.
You could add green chilies or garlic to it as well. If adding these let the pickle sit undisturbed for 3 days before opening.
I prefer to make these with red onions, but when not available add a couple slices of beets to the white onions to give the purple color.
