Description

Directions

• Melt the butter, ghee or olive oil in a heavy based fry pan over a low heat.
• Add the onions and salt, and stir to coat with the melted fat.
• Allow to cook over a low heat, stirring every 5 - 10 minutes. As the onions start to caramelise, it will appear that they are sticking to the bottom of the pan. This is perfectly normal. Just scrape the sticky parts off the bottom of the pan and stir it back into the onions.
• When the onions are dark brown, soft and sticky (after approximately 1 hour) stir in the sugar and balsamic vinegar (if using)
• Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the balsamic vinegar had evaporated.
• Remove from the heat, allow to cool slightly then place in a clean jar.
• Store in the fridge or freezer and use as desired.
