How to Make Pineapple Onion Marmalade

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender and beginning to brown.
  2. Add 1 (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks (undrained), 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugars dissolve completely.
  4. Reduce the heat to low.
  5. Simmer uncovered for 35-45 minutes, or until the marmalade has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally. The marmalade is ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. Transfer the marmalade to a medium-sized bowl, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days to allow the flavors to meld. (Warming before serving is recommended).
  8. Reheat gently in a saucepan before serving.
