Onion marmalade

This doesn't taste of onions, and can be flavoured with rosemary sprigs instead of the caraway seeds.

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds onions sliced into thin rings
3 tablespoon salt
2 pounds granulated sugar
17 fluid ounce vinegar
1 1/2 tsp cloves in a piece of muslin
2 tsp caraway seeds

Method

1. Mix together salt and onions and leave to stand for one hour. Rinse and dry.
2. Dissolve sugar in vinegar in pan and add muslin bag. Simmer for five minutes and then add onions and caraway seeds or rosemary sprigs.
3. Simmer for two to three hours, skimming off any scum until a translucent jam is formed.
4. Ladle into hot jars. Improves with keeping. Lasts two years.
