Onion confiture

Ingredients:

• Blue onions - 800 g
• Brown sugar - 3 tbsp
• Red wine - 200 ml
• Pomegranate juice - 50 ml
• Apple cider vinegar - 2 tbsp
• Olive oil - for frying
• Oregano
• Pepper
• Paprika
• Salt

Method of preparation:

1. Cut the onion into half rings. Send to the pan.
2. When the onion is soft, add sugar. Stir constantly.
3. At this stage, add all other spices, wine, juice, and vinegar.
4. When all the moisture has completely evaporated, it means that the jam is ready. Put it in jars.

The jam tastes best with liver pate, fried meat, brie, or Camembert cheese.

Special features of cooking

• Onion jam can be fried in butter, which makes the dish even more tender and helps the onions to get a golden brown.
• All varieties of onions can be used for the dish, but most often the jam is made with white onions: they are much sweeter than other varieties.

• The thinner you cut the onion, the more delicate the texture will be.
• It is recommended to store the confiture for no more than a month.
