Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Hello, I'm Chef Wood. Ask me anything about this recipe, whenever you like. Press play, or say “next”, and I'll read you the steps one at a time.
Chef Wood answers only when you ask, so take all the time you need. His answers come from AI and are general cooking guidance.
- Heat oil in noncorrosive saucepan over medium heat. Add onions. Let sweat gently until onions start to give off their juices.
- Stir in sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper until the mixture starts to melt. Add dried fruit and wine, then cover and reduce heat to lowest setting. Use a heat diffuser on the burner, if necessary. Watch and stir often, adding more wine or water as needed.
- When the onions and fruit have melded and cooked down to a jamlike consistency, taste and adjust seasoning. Add more vinegar if needed to balance the fruit.
- Note: I stuff a tablespoon of this onion "jam" in small hollow parboiled onions and roast them in the oven. -Kate Ratliffe, author
