Red Onion Marmalade

[AllenOK]

This used to be made at a club I worked at, as a topping for a "Garden Burger". It's kind of spicy, but a great condiment.

Red Onion Marmalade

2 large red onions, thickly sliced
1 T butter
1 t garlic, minced
cider vinegar to cover
¼ c sugar
red pepper flakes, to taste
salt, to taste

Sauté onions in butter until they collapse. Add remaining ingredients except sugar and reduce to au sec. Add sugar and simmer, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.

I was a little put off by the name at first, as I think of marmalade as something sweet that I put on a peanut butter sandwich or an English muffin, but this looks really good. I will have to try it. Thanks!

Trust me, it is sweet! I reduced this down from a commercial-yield recipe that would make a gallon or two. It may need more sugar, as I haven't tested this size batch.

I love onion marmalade, but have never made any of my own. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I don't mind if it is sweet, as long as it is also spicy.

Oh yes, it's spicy as well. It adds a nice counterpoint to the vegetarian patties that it went on.
