I know what you’re thinking… most delicious homemade christmas gift, you were thinking of my fudge recipe were you not? Well, you were close, but this year, I branched out and decided to make something savoury (ish – depending on if adding 1/4 cup of sugar to anything can be considered savoury).
We try in our family, to include the homemade element over Christmas, for personal and somewhat anti-consumerism-Christmassy reasons – so I’m super pumped to have this all made up, in my fridge and ready to throw on a cheese plate.
Red Onion Marmalade. Yum guys. Yum.
This pressie has been made and has been/will be distributed to parents, in-laws and teachers alike. And it’s easy and so very, very delicious.
I tried a few recipes, and this one is by far my best (thanks to All Recipes):
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 large red onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- salt to taste
Tip: Genius Debbie remembered she had a slicing attachment on her food processor, and so no onion-tears for me. Boom.
Method:
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onions and sugar in hot oil until onions start to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Stir red wine and balsamic vinegar into onion mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes more. Season with salt.
Done-sies.
All you need are some jars (I get mine from Bonpak), and some brown paper (PNA/MerryPak) and some twine/string. I attached a little card with a note and onion marmalade ingredients. How cute, and HOW simple?
What is your fave homemade treat?
