How to Make Caramelized Onion Marmalade

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
Add 2 pounds of thinly sliced brown onions and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet.
Stir to coat the onions and garlic evenly with the butter and sugar mixture.
Cover the skillet and cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and begun to caramelize.
Uncover the skillet and add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
Continue cooking, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelized and the liquid has reduced to a thick, syrupy consistency.
Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
Allow the marmalade to cool completely before serving. Enjoy at room temperature or chilled.
