Red Onion Marmalade

[mariell]

no idea but if they are small then double the amount
I am using both white and brown sugar as i never have enough of one...lol.
Ive got a double amount of red onion marmalade on the cooker as i type i just cant get enough of the stuff

I'm just in the middle of some more of this, using my bolted reds. Because you have to lose the middle of them (flower stalk), I chopped an ordinary large red and weighed it to make sure I had the right quantities. It was 230g once sliced so I reckon you need about 1200 - 1500g of sliced onion in total.

Has anyone kindly worked out how much 6 large onions weigh as my reds are efinately not large.If anyone has can they let us in on it. I am all prepared to start making a batch at the first opportunity. has anyone tried using brown sugar for a caramalised taste or do you already get that.

There ya go...

If you cook the onions slowly it becomes quite caramelly and sweet anyway, you can try a batch using different sugars , just let us know if they work.

Here I am again - a 3 x amount of PWs marmalade on the go!

Ive used a mixture of dark brown, brown and normal white sugar as it's all I had! Also a mixture of see through vinegar, brown vinegar and cider vinegar - again, just what I had the cupboard. I'm sure it will turn out fine.

Made some of this t'other day . It's quite thick and sticky but tastes wonderful esp. with some Saint Agur cheese .

Red Onion Marmalade

I'm definitely going to give this recipe a go - red onion marmalade is a firm favourite at my house. Simply add a cheeseboard and some port and you're in for a good night!

I thought I'd share the recipe I use; it's really easy to make and always gives great results. Let me know what you think if you give it a try.

Ingredients:

1kg red onions
225g brown sugar
225ml red wine vinegar
90ml balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground black peppercorns

Using a large pan, combine the thinly sliced red onions and 4 tablespoons of the brown sugar. Cook over a gentle heat for around 30-45 minutes until the onions start to caramelise. At this point, stir in the red wine vinegar and the rest of the brown sugar. Turn up the heat and stir quite frequently until most of the liquid has evaporated. You are looking for a thick consistency (scrape your spoon across the bottom of the pan and it should leave a clear trail momentarily).

Season according to your preference with the salt and pepper and immediately pot into sterilised jars.

Definitely keeps unopened for at least 3 months, probably longer, providing you get a good seal.

Got recipe of internet for red onion chutney,put cover on pan but not much happened so took off and it thickened very quickly ( 1.5 hours in total),put in jars and left in cupboard . After a month ,my husband decided time to eat and nearly broke the spoon on trying to get it out of jar- it was like toffee, 3 jars in bin.

[binley100]

Low simmer with no lid until when you draw a spoon through it there is a few seconds before the gap is filled up. It thickens more as it cools.

Ate a jar of this for lunch with sisters, and the recipe is now winging its way around East Angular
