Vidalia Onion 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.

• Add the vinegar and parsley and cook for 1 minutes.
• Remove from heat, cool and serve.
• Can be stored in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

CARAMELIZED ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• NOTE: About those onions -- 10 cups is somewhere between 3 and 4 very large onions. The recipe I took this from called for sweet onions. First time I made it, I used Vidalia -- and thought they made it a little bland. Next time I tried spicier brown onions, and thought it had a lot more flavor.
• In a LARGE skillet, melt butter. Add brown sugar and stir until it dissolves.
• Add onion and garlic to skillet. Stir to coat with butter/sugar mixture. Cover and cook over medium heat for at least 30 minutes; you can cook them much longer and it will only make it sweeter.
• Uncover and add vinegar to onion mixture. Cook, uncovered for at least 10 minutes. (I found I cooked it nearly 45 minutes, to try to reduce some of the liquid.).
• Add salt and pepper.
• Serve at room temperature or even chilled.

Steps:

• In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onions and salt and stir to coat with the oil. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and pale gold, about 30 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, vinegars, honey, and thyme. Season to taste with pepper. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the onion juices have evaporated and the mixture is thick, about 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature for immediate use, or transfer to an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
