Onion Chutney

This Onion Chutney is made by slowly caramelizing sweet onions with brown sugar and a touch of olive oil, then flavored with ground cloves, cinnamon, and finished with balsamic vinegar. The result is a rich, thick condiment that balances sweetness and spiced warmth. The long cooking time transforms the onions into a deep golden mixture perfect for spreading or serving alongside savory dishes.

  1. Peel and chop the onions into large chunks.
  2. Pour the oil into a pan and over a medium heat sauté the onions.
  3. After about 40 minutes when the onions have started to caramelize (sugars in the onions convert to caramel), add the brown sugar.
  4. Add the ground cinnamon and cloves.
  5. Lastly, add the balsamic vinegar and stir well.
  6. Continue sautéing for another 20 minutes of so or until a deep colored, rich, thick caramelized onion mixture is formed. Allow to cool in the pan then transfer to a mason or jelly jar.
