Onion And Orange Marmalade Recipes

ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• Thinly slice the onions by first cutting in half, then removing the core at an angle. Thinly slice the onions like a fan. Over medium heat, add the oil followed by the onions. The onions will start to sweat and cook down, releasing their liquid. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring every 2-3 minutes until the moisture is gone, 20 minutes or more as needed, depending on moisture level of the onions.
• When all of the moisture's been cooked out of the onions, turn the heat back to medium, add the sugar, a pinch of salt, and the vinegar and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar and combine. Turn the heat to low and reduce until the mixture is a thick jam, about 45 minutes.

RED ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onions and sugar in hot oil until onions start to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Stir red wine and balsamic vinegar into onion mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes more. Season with salt.

ORANGE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Using a large pot, combine the apples and water and bring to a boil. Cook until apples are soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Strain through cheesecloth, reserve the liquid, and discard the remaining pulp.
• Combine the orange juice, sugar, water, and pectin in a large copper pot and bring to a boil. Cook the liquid and reduce to 2/3 of the original volume. Add the second addition of sugar and lemon juice and stir until it dissolves. Finally add the sliced oranges and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 225 degrees F, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Test the consistency by cooling a small portion of the mixture completely.

ONION AND ORANGE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Heat oil in a deep 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onions with bay leaves and clove, stirring frequently, until soft and beginning to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While onions are sautéing, cook sugar and oranges in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is melted and oranges are caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Add stock and vinegar to onions and bring to a boil, then carefully stir in oranges (mixture will bubble up and steam vigorously). Boil, stirring, until caramel is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
• Carefully transfer skillet to oven and bake, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. Serve warm.

SPICED ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; sauté until onions just begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add vinegar and sugar and cook 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in tomato paste, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Reduce heat to low and simmer until marmalade is thick, stirring often, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before serving.)

ORANGE MARMALADE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix and pour over chicken in casserole dish.
• Bake at 350F for 40-50 minutes, stirring halfway through.

RED ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• Halve and thinly slice the onions, then thinly slice the garlic. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Tip in the onions and garlic and give them a good stir so they are glossed with butter. Sprinkle over the sugar, thyme leaves, chilli flakes if using and some salt and pepper. Give everything another really good stir and reduce the heat slightly. Cook uncovered for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions are ready when all their juices have evaporated, they're really soft and sticky and smell of sugar caramelising. They should be so soft that they break when pressed against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slow cooking is the secret of really soft and sticky onions, so don't rush this part.
• Pour in the wine, vinegar and port and simmer everything, still uncovered, over a high heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every so often until the onions are a deep mahogany colour and the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds. It's done when drawing a spoon across the bottom of the pan clears a path that fills rapidly with syrupy juice. Leave the onions to cool in the pan, then scoop into sterilised jars and seal. Can be eaten straight away, but keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months.
