Sometimes when I’m cooking at home, I like to have a spicy or hot sauce of some kind to top my dishes. Many times I do the old mayo and horseradish trick, sour cream tzaziki or just spiced ketchup. I always have in my pantry onions, shallots, garlic and red onion. I love red onions. I add them in obvious meals such as salads, soups, and sandwiches, but I needed more. And with all the craze for fermented foods today, I decided to try my hand at a marmalade. This is so easy and fast, they can be prepared the day you need them, or place them in an airtight glass jar and store them in your refrigerator.

Any onion is so beneficial for your health and here is why:

  • Onions, leeks, garlic, shallots, chives, and scallions not only lend great flavor to meals, they have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular and immune systems, as well as anti-diabetic and anti-cancer effects, which slow tumor growth and kill cancer cells.These vegetables also contain high concentrations of anti-inflammatory flavonoids–antioxidants that contribute to their anti-cancer properties.
  • Eating onions and garlic frequently is associated with reduced risk of digestive cancers. For more information visit; Dr. Fuhrman Health Site.

Hello Mary,

Love your posts and reading about your family history.

This recipe looks delish and very easy to make. I would like to make it but am wondering how and with what would I serve it? As a side or….?

I always look forward to your posts and have made several dishes like your lentil soup and green beans and a couple salads…..loved them all.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Hi Anne,
It makes a great cheese board side!
For everyday, I would use it in grilled cheese sandwiches, on top of burgers, top a potato soup, in a regular sandwich such as pastrami, roast beef dip.
It can be added to any vegetable dish as a topping.
It’s yummy, try it!
Thanks for following,
Mary
