Hi whats the quantity of ingredents plz
If I want to make a big batch of dis, shall I just add some acid pectin as da preservative element? Or perhaps U have some otha ideas/tips on how to make these last longer..thanks^^
@@yukilee2215 No need to add anything just make sure to sterilise your jars and lids and fill the jars while they are warm when you put the lids on it creates a seal. leave in a cold place - don't open until you need to use it. I make big batches of this too as love it so much. Once I open a jar I pop in the fridge. The sugar,vinegar helps to preserve it along with the cooking process and sealing the jars x Hope you like it - I'm down to my last jar so going to make it again next week x
@@ScrummyTV thank you sooo much for ur feedback🙏🏻☺
I didnt know what to do with my red onions. Thank you for this resepi.
It's a fab recipe I make it often and give as gifts for Christmas x Hope you like it x
Great Video! Looks delicious!
Thank you 😋 I love making it, have only just run out so will have to make some more. Love it on pizza with goats cheese and wild rocket x
Sounds great! 😋👍
What a God send,all my Red onions from sets ran to seed and will not store,so this is a perfect remedy for my dilemma,thank you for the video,👍
You are very welcome. Sorry to hear about the red onions going to seed it's disappointing when something like this happens. Glad the red onion chutney is good alternative to using them x Bet it tastes even better with home grown red onions x
I have used your recipe a few times now and it always turns out well!
Lovely to hear that. This is a firm favourite here x
This might be a stupid question Scrummy but do you put the relish on the pizza while it is cooking
As always another lovely recipe 🤗🍀
Not at all no such thing as a silly question. Yes I dot it all around the pizza before putting it in the oven. Rocket is lovely on top when you take it out and season with salt and pepper. x
@@ScrummyTV Thank you Pet 🤗
I will be making this but can I ask why the music, I and a lot of my friends hate having this background distraction when describing the recipe 🤞
Thank you for your feedback and sorry that you find the music distracting. I do appreciate your feedback and will reduce the music going forward on my future videos. I hope you enjoy the Caramalized Red Onion x
Do you have to store it in the fridge, thank you
yes when opened Sandra:) Sealed jars can be kept in a cold cupboard x
How long can it be stored for? Looks yummy 😋
It's fab I've just finished making a another batch. When I open a jar I leave in the fridge and lasts ages. The other I just keep in a cool place x
could i water can this recipe ?
No you need red wine vinegar :)
Don’t like that annoying music in the background, you have a very sweet voice that is enough honestly ❤❤
Yes the music is too loud on this one sorry about that. Someone else did mention it before and I have lowered it on my new videos. Thank you for the feedback I do like to recieive it :)
I just did enough for one jar to start with and iv got down the times a bit. Got bout 10min left after adding the ingredients instead of im hour im doing 30ish min. But its looking dry and not as juicy as yours. Maybe next time ill just to the full amount
Yes maybe a full batch would be better. I've also made a small amount in a pan and didn't find it as juicy I think the liquid evaporates quicker when only a smaller batch. I made a full batch last weekend just 4 jars - tried some last night on pizza and it was lovely. I plan on making another batch this week for a Christmas market in our village. Thank you for the comment and hope you enjoy it x
@ScrummyTV yeah to be honest seen how must 1/3 was and looked big but reduced to not much and think i will fly through them as I'm doing pizza tonight and already snacked on them a bit!
@@PopcornPlaya8589 yes I filled my saucepan with 1.5kg of onions and only 4 jars of it x Enjoy x
@ScrummyTV sorry a last question. Storing is it best just in a cupboard or the fridge?
If open I leave it in the fridge otherwise I leave it in a dark cool cupboard will keep for 12 months or longer unopened. I just had some there with crackers and cheese and my 12 year old tried it for the first time and loved it @@PopcornPlaya8589
Mine looked very pale in comparison to yours, wonder what I did wrong.
Did you use red onion and brown sugar? I've made this with white onions and it wasn't as dark in colour but still tasted good x
@@ScrummyTV Yes followed the recipe as best I could but with substitutes of 3 tsp lazy garlic, a freshly chopped red chilli and some Colmans mustard powder.
Not really sure then any changes you made wldn't impact it. Here is some information that might help.
Cooking time: Caramelizing onions requires sufficient cooking time to allow the natural sugars in the onions to break down and develop a deep brown color. If you didn't cook the onions for long enough, they may not have had enough time to caramelize fully, resulting in a pale color.
Heat level: Caramelizing onions requires low and slow cooking over low to medium heat. If the heat was too high, the onions may have browned quickly on the outside without fully caramelizing, leaving them pale on the inside.
Onion variety: The variety of red onions can vary in color, and some may naturally have a paler hue. Certain varieties of red onions have a lighter, pinkish color, and when caramelized, they may not turn as dark brown as other varieties.
Freshness of onions: Freshness can affect the color and flavor of caramelized onions. Older onions tend to have a higher sugar content, which enhances caramelization. If your onions were relatively fresh, they might not have caramelized as deeply.
Caramelization technique: The technique used for caramelization can also impact the color. For darker caramelization, it's essential to cook the onions evenly, stir them frequently, and avoid overcrowding the pan. Uneven cooking or overcrowding can result in uneven color distribution.
To achieve a darker color, ensure that you cook the onions slowly over low to medium heat, stirring frequently until they reach the desired caramelized color.
@@ScrummyTV Thanks for your detailed reply. From what you say I think the red onions I used may have been too fresh and not the deep red variety. I shall try lowering the heat a little more next time and cook for longer. I’m actually onion intolerant lol so can’t try out the chutney. I made it for my husband who says it still tastes okay despite its appearance.
Perfect Izzy sure try that and let me know how you get on. thanks x
Noooo Garlic !!! Please?? In any dish you are making, you either use onions or garlic NEVER BOTH !
Onions and garlic are often used together in many culinary dishes to enhance flavor. They complement each other well and can add depth and complexity to a wide range of recipes. Onions and garlic both belong to the allium family and share similar flavor profiles, making them compatible in many savory dishesI understand your preference for not including garlic with caramelized onions. Everyone has their own taste, and it's important to make dishes that you enjoy. I'll be sure to keep that in mind when preparing dishes for you in the future. Thank you for letting me know x
Wtf garlic and onions often go together
I was puzzled by the comment too - both go amazing together@@nightlock7702
Yes to garlic and onion. Imagine telling a French or Italian they don’t mix
