Ingredients

• 4 large yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into uniform rings or half-moons.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted, stir in the sliced onions, ensuring they are evenly coated in the butter and oil mixture.

Step 4

Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until they become soft and translucent.

Step 5

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the onions and stir well to combine. Allow the sugar to melt and caramelize, cooking for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 6

Add the balsamic vinegar and dry red wine to the pan. Stir to deglaze the bottom of the skillet, incorporating any browned bits into the mixture.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 8

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 20–25 minutes or until the liquid has reduced and the onions have a jam-like consistency.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed (add more salt or pepper to suit your taste).

Step 10

Remove the onion marmalade from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to jars or an airtight container.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Reheat gently before serving if desired.
