Red Onion Marmalade

I attended a cooking class last week, at Whisked Away (Maggie ROCKS),  and we made a bunch of recipes from "Cowgirl Cuisine" cookbook. We made this red onion marmalade along with Cowgirl Peppercorn Steak and I LOVED the onions. The steak was a bit too peppery for me. I will definitely make this marmalade with any steak I make. We tweaked the recipe a little bit, so this is a little different than the cookbook.  I also cut the recipe in half when I make it for the family since I'm really the only one in my family that loves onions. This recipe makes enough for 8 servings.

Ingredients:
* 4 T olive oil
* 4 large red onions, thinly sliced
* kosher salt
* generous pinch of red chile flakes
* 2 thyme branches
* 2 fresh bay leaves
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 bottle red wine
* 6 T honey
* 4 T unsalted butter
* Freshly ground pepper

Heat oil in large skillet (sauce pan) over medium-high heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and saute, stirring, until softened. (about 6-8 minutes). Add the chile flakes, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic and saute a few more minutes. Add the wine and honey and bring to a boil. Keep at a boil and stir occasionally until the wine reduces almost all the way. Mixture should be thick and sticky. Stir in butter and some pepper and salt.

Enjoy!

It's ALMOST done here... I still boiled it down a for another 5 minutes or so after this.
