Red Onion Marmalade

WI Cheesehead's Note:

Got this out of the local paper. It is so good! You could use it on almost anything. It goes great on grilled cheese too! I'm not sure how many servings it makes.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Halve onions lengthwise and cut into thin slices.
2. Heat butter in large heavy skillet set over medium heat.

This is fantastic!!! I made it to go with Mini Man Burgers - Alton Brown and was not disappointed! I have quite a bit left and I plan on using it ALL. None of this will go to waste!

Wow! Yummy stuff. I only had white wine so I used it instead of red and this came out just WONDERFUL! I made it early in the afternoon and had it in the frig. It made a nice cool side to my zippy chicken croquettes with an amazing sauce (Chicken Croquettes). You can't miss with these two recipes together. I'll be making this lots! Probably will make it to my Thanksgiving table, too! Thanks for posting!

Perfect! The only change I made was grape juice instead of dry red wine. I had this at a restaurant in Williamsburg, VA on a grilled chicken sandwich and was glad to find the recipe on here! Thank you!
