Recipe Information
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)
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the sweet onions into half-moon shapes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
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.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions and stir well. Continue to cook for 5 minutes to enhance the caramelization.
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.
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.
Taste the relish and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or a splash of vinegar to suit your preference.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Store the Sweet Onion Sultana Currant Relish in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be kept for up to two weeks.
Serve as a topping for roasted meats, spread on sandwiches, or alongside a cheese platter.
