Red Onion Jam
(Makes 2 jars)
This rich onion confiture made with red wine, Whitworths caster sugar and sherry vinegar makes a classic combination, to which fresh blueberries are added to give an unusual fruity twist. Serve hot with roast duck or pork, or add to a bland gravy for an instant gutsy onion flavour to go with sausage and mash. Its also good at room temperature with cold meats and cheeses.
Equipment & Ingredients
| • |
800g (1lb 12oz) red onions,
peeled and very thinly sliced |
|
| • |
175g (6oz) Whitworths caster sugar |
|
| • |
Several good scrunches of sea salt
and black peppercorns |
|
| • |
100ml (3½ fluoz) sherry vinegar |
|
| • |
225g (8oz) fresh blueberries |
|
| • |
200ml (7 fluoz) red wine |
|
Method
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then add the onions, garlic, sugar and seasoning. Cook on a simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sherry vinegar, blueberries and red wine. Continue to cook slowly for a further 25-30 minutes stirring frequently, until the consistency looks shiny and thickened. Allow to cool a little before decanting into hot clean jam jars and seal.
Tip
Whitworths white caster sugar is used in the recipe but golden caster may also be added for a light caramelised flavour and of course Whitworths organic caster sugar if you keep all the ingredients organic.
