Delicious Red Onion Marmalade Recipe for Any Occasion

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups red onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup brown sugar (can substitute with white sugar)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Onions

    Thinly slice the red onions and set aside.

    Using a mandoline can make slicing easier.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

    Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
  3. Sauté the Onions

    Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté until they are soft and translucent.

    This should take about 10 minutes.
  4. Add Sugar and Vinegar

    Stir in the brown sugar and apple cider vinegar, mixing well.

    Ensure the sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. Simmer the Mixture

    Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30-40 minutes until thickened.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Season and Cool

    Add salt to taste, then remove from heat and let cool.

    Store in an airtight container once cooled.
