Ingredients
- 500 g red onions
- 25 g dairy-free margarine
- 100 g caster sugar
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 80 ml red wine (or port - check it is vegan)
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or white wine or cider vinegar)
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoon cranberry sauce optional
Instructions
- Peel the onions and slice them as finely as possible.
- Heat the margarine in a large saucepan or heavy-bottomed pan, then add the onions and sugar.
- Strip the leaves from the thyme, adding them to the pan as you go. Season well with salt and black pepper.
- Cook over a low heat for about 20 minutes, until the onions are completely soft.
- Add the red wine, both vinegars and cranberry sauce, then continue to cook for a further 20 minutes until the mixture has turned thick and syrupy.
- Remove from the heat, then when the mixture has cooled, spoon into clean, sterilised jars. The marmalade will keep in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Notes
You will need to keep an eye on the onion marmalade as it cooks, and adjust the temperature if necessary. If it is cooking too quickly just turn the heat down. If it has got a little dry, add a splash of water or red wine to loosen it. This is best cooked low and slow.
To get back its glossy shine if it has been in the fridge (which makes it look a little dull), just microwave it for 30 seconds or reheat in a small pan.
