Ingredients

• 4 cups sweet onions
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cup sultanas (golden raisins)
• 0.5 cup dried currants
• 0.33 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the sweet onions into half-moon shapes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir to coat them in the oil. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and begin to caramelize.

Step 4

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions and stir well. Continue to cook for 5 minutes to enhance the caramelization.

Step 5

Add the sultanas, dried currants, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, pepper, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits have softened and the liquid has thickened and reduced to a syrupy consistency.

Step 7

Taste the relish and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or a splash of vinegar to suit your preference.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Store the Sweet Onion Sultana Currant Relish in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be kept for up to two weeks.

Step 10

Serve as a topping for roasted meats, spread on sandwiches, or alongside a cheese platter.
