In a saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, and water; heat over medium until sugar dissolves.

Add mustard seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, and ginger to the saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions in the bowl.

Transfer the relish to sterilized jars while still warm.

Seal jars and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Allow the relish to sit for at least 24 hours for flavors to develop.
