RED ONION CONFITURE

Red Onion Confiture

Makes about 2 cups

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 medium-size red onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 cup dry red wine

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, red wine and sugar and stir to blend. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and syrupy, 20 to 30 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cool. Store in an airtight glass or plastic container until ready to serve. When ready to serve, let the confiture come to room temperature.
