You serve it the same way as you'd serve a chutney. If you're making cheese on toast you can spread a layer on the toast before putting the cheese on.

I'm sorry, this is way new to me. How do you serve it? Just slather it on cheese, pate and/or cold meats?

Use it the same way you use branston pickle, HTH.

Chutneys involve sugar or another sweetener and vinegar and are 'softer' than pickles which should be crunchy. I love onion marmalade with almost anything savoury.

Do you or your family make them ? How about at the farm ?
Could be an interesting addition to the produce sold at the farm shop / stand - you do not have to use perfect veg or fruit.

Very tasty with a cheese or ham sandwich, or cold meats, or nut roast. Or even in place of ketchup with sausages or mashed potato.

You have "relishes" though don't you? Aren't they basically the same?

ok just made this and it says cook until it looks like marmalade but mine has very little juice as such and its all onions is that right. only marmalade to me is more jelly like with less bits I guess this is more like a chutney in appearance. Is that right sorry just didnt want to jar it up and realise it has gone wrong. smells great mind you.

Sounds OK to me. It never really looks like marmalade, it just looks 'done'.

We've had a good year for onions too. Is it just Wales?
