Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Peel the onions and slice them thinly. Keep them consistent for even cooking.
  • Ensure your jars are sterilized. You can do this by boiling them in water for 10 minutes.

Cooking Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt.
  • Stir occasionally and cook for 15 minutes, letting the onions soften and turn translucent.
  • Sprinkle in the brown sugar. Stir well to coat the onions evenly.
  • Pour in the red wine and balsamic vinegar. Add the bay leaves.
  • Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like. This takes about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the bay leaves and check the seasoning. Adjust salt if needed.
  • Carefully ladle the marmalade into the sterilized jars. Seal tightly while hot.
  • Let the jars cool completely before storing. Enjoy within 2-3 weeks.
