Spiced Onion Marmalade Recipes

Steps:

• Saute the onion in hot oil in skillet over medium high heat with the salt, pepper, and cayenne, cook stirring often, for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the onions are golden. Add the sugar and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the vinegar and parsley and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cool and serve.
• Can be stored in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• For the onion marmalade: Heat the oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to soften but not brown, about 8 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, the sugar and chile flakes. Cook the onions until almost all the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 12 minutes. Add the apple cider vinegar and simmer until the marmalade is thick, stirring often, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cool.
• For the grilled sausages: Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Brush the sausages with oil. Grill the sausages, turning them constantly, until golden and cooked through, or when an instant-read thermometer inserted in a sausage reads about 165 degrees F, about 14 minutes. Spread each baguette with the mustard. Place the grilled sausages on top of each baguette and top with the onion marmalade and Tomato Chutney.
• Boil a pot of water. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Cut the stem of the tomatoes using a paring knife. Slice a shallow X in the bottom end of the tomatoes. Plunge the tomatoes into the boiling water for a few seconds, using a slotted spoon. Transfer the tomatoes to the ice water. Remove the tomatoes and peel away the skin. Chop the tomatoes roughly.
• Pour the oil into a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, red wine vinegar and sugar and cook, stirring half way through the cooking time, until slightly thickened and the tomatoes have broken down, about 20 minutes. Add the herbs de Provence and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the chutney, about 5 minutes. Let the chutney cool slightly before serving. Yield: 4 servings.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; sauté until onions just begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add vinegar and sugar and cook 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in tomato paste, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Reduce heat to low and simmer until marmalade is thick, stirring often, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before serving.)

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Halve and thinly slice the onions, then thinly slice the garlic. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Tip in the onions and garlic and give them a good stir so they are glossed with butter. Sprinkle over the sugar, thyme leaves, chilli flakes if using and some salt and pepper. Give everything another really good stir and reduce the heat slightly. Cook uncovered for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions are ready when all their juices have evaporated, they're really soft and sticky and smell of sugar caramelising. They should be so soft that they break when pressed against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slow cooking is the secret of really soft and sticky onions, so don't rush this part.
• Pour in the wine, vinegar and port and simmer everything, still uncovered, over a high heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every so often until the onions are a deep mahogany colour and the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds. It's done when drawing a spoon across the bottom of the pan clears a path that fills rapidly with syrupy juice. Leave the onions to cool in the pan, then scoop into sterilised jars and seal. Can be eaten straight away, but keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Whisk next 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Brush generous 1 tablespoon glaze on each side of pork chops. Place chops on prepared baking sheet. Bake until thermometer inserted into center registers 150°F, about 20 minutes. Serve with warm Spiced Onion Marmalade.

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients in a preserving kettle. Stir well. Bring to the boil, stirring frequently, over high heat. Adjust the heat so that the relish bubbles moderately vigorously; stir frequently and remove any scum.
• When the relish is a rich brown colour and has the smooth, thick consistency of jam, it is ready this happens after about 40 to 60 minutes.
• Fill hot sterilized canning jars. Drop clean, new canning jar lids into boiling water and leave them there, off the heat, to allow the circle of sealing compound to soften. When filling each jar with jam, jelly or relish, leave a 1/8 inch headspace. Immediately screw the lid on tightly, then flip the jar over and back again. Set to cool on a rack. When the jam has cooled, check the seal to make sure the lid on the jar has concaved. If it has not, refrigerate the contents and use within a month.
• Another method is--Pour jam or jelly or relish into hot, clean jars, leaving a ¼ inch headspace. Wipe the edge of the jar with a clean damp cloth. Set the jar lids, previously softened in boiling water as described above, on the jars and tighten. Set on a rack in a canner, sometimes called a boiling water bath. Fill with water to a level 1 inch above the top of the jars. Cover the canner, bring to the boil over high heat and boil hard for 15 minutes. Remove the jars, cool on a rack and check the seals. Yields five 8 oz. jars.
