Title: hugh fearnley-whittingstall recipe for onion and balsamic relish
Post by: Sparkly on June 20, 2009, 14:08:35
Does anyone have the preserves book from the river cottage garden series? I can't find my copy  :-[ I have brought a load of onions home ready to make the chutney (think he calls it a relish though). If so, could I have the recipe? Thanks

Thanks very much Fork, but that isn't the one. This one is basically onions, balsamic and light muscavodo sugar (I think). Made it last year and it was lovely. The book must be in the house somewhere. I must be going mad!

Nope still don't have the book!

Need to know the ingredients and quantities....

The method is just slowly cook onions and then add other stuff and cook.....
