How to Make Confit D Oignon French Onion Marmalade

  1. Finely slice 1 kg of red or yellow onions.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 100ml olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 10 minutes).
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to caramelize.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 2 bay leaves, and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Cook for another 20-30 minutes, or until the herbs are wilted.
  5. Remove the lid. Stir in 100g granulated sugar, 100ml dry red wine, and 50ml red wine vinegar (or balsamic vinegar).
  6. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced and the onions are very soft and sticky. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  7. Remove the bay leaves and rosemary sprigs.
  8. Carefully spoon the confit into sterilized jars, leaving about 1cm headspace. Seal immediately.
  9. Allow to cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place. Ready to enjoy after 2 weeks, but even better after 1-2 months!
