Onion Marmalade

Onion Marmalade Relish

Background

Onions grow wild in Ireland and have been cultivated in some form for over 5000 years throughout Europe.  Its origins remain a mystery but the flavor onions lend to food is anything but a mystery. Onions have a long shelf life and can be grown in various climates and soils.

Recipe

Prior to refrigeration, vinegar helped preserve foods.  This tasty recipe not only lasts long, but is also versatile. Great as a relish over toast or with crackers, add to sandwiches, top meats, or even add to stews.  This recipe is from David Bowers Real Irish Food.  Scroll down for more information
