Vegetable / Other: Pearl Onion Marmalade Side Dish

From Shelly Carey

Ingredients
1 pound frozen pearl onions
1/3 cup sherry vinegar
1/3 cup white wine
½ cup sugar
2 Tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chicken stock

Directions
Place all ingredients in saucepan and cook over medium heat until thick.

Note: I originally served this as a garnish over some shrimp and crab cakes, but think it would be a great accompaniment or side dish with any main meat dish (chicken, fish or beef). (For the original recipe look-up “Wild Georgia Shrimp and Crab Cake with Pearl Onion marmalade" on-line).

All of these ingredients seem like a hodge-podge of different things, but when you taste it, I think you’ll agree it’s great!
