Ingredients:
- 1 ounce butter
- 2 red onions
- 1 ounce sugar
- 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper.
Instructions:
- Chop the onions into very fine slices. The thinner they are, the easier they boil later on.
- Heat a saucepan on medium heat.
- Melt the butter in the pan along with the sugar and the balsamic vinegar. If you like you can add a dash of cassis. This is a blackcurrant liqueur that gives the jam a little extra kick.
- When it has all melted into a sauce, season with salt and pepper.
- Next, slide the onions into the mix and bring to the boil.
- Cook the onions in the sauce for about 30 minutes on a low heat. You want it to just simmer. Once it has stewed for that length of time, it will be ready.
- Just leave to cool first.
