Ingredients

• 500 grams red onions
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 200 ml red wine vinegar
• 50 ml balsamic vinegar
• 100 ml dry red wine
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Peel the red onions and finely slice them into thin strips.

Step 2

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced red onions to the pan and sauté them gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent but not browned.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and dry red wine. Mix well to ensure the sugar dissolves fully in the liquid.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Add the lemon juice and salt, and stir to combine.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a jam-like consistency. The liquid should reduce significantly during this time.

Step 7

To test if the jelly is ready, spoon a small amount onto a cold plate and let it cool for a few seconds. If it holds its shape and doesn't run off the plate easily, it is done. If not, continue simmering for a few more minutes and test again.

Step 8

Once the jelly has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 9

Transfer the jelly into sterilized jars while still warm, leaving a small gap at the top. Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool to room temperature.

Step 10

Store the jars in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2 weeks.
