Red Onion & Dried Fruit Marmalade

Dried plums and red onions are reduced to a savory, rich marmalade to complement a tender slice of roast beef.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 cups thinly sliced red onions
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 1/4 cup chopped pitted dried plums
• 1/4 cup fig preserves
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.  Add onions, cook 8 to 10 minutes or until tender and beginning to brown, stirring occasionally.  Stir in wine, plums, preserves and vinegar, cook about 5 minutes or until liquid is evaporated and marmalade thickens and turns dark, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat; stir in thyme and salt.  Cool slightly and serve warm.
