Sweet and sour cherry marmalade

Ian Haines
1
Tbsp
butter
1
onion, thinly sliced
1
bay leaf (optionl)
5
cloves (optional)
300
g
fresh cherries, stoned and halved
2
Tbsp
caster sugar
3
Tbsp
red wine vinegar (or substitute part with shiraz)
Step
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan.
Add the onion, stir well, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes. It's important not to let it burn - it should soften down and colour gently.
Add the stoned and halved cherries, sugar and vinegar and simmer for about 15 minutes, until liquid has evaporated and you have a runny jam-like consistency.
Cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.
