Someone called me this week and asked if I made this. I checked my files and found one entry, back in 2004, so I decided to kick it up a notch.
This would be great with BBQ/grilled meats, on sandwiches with a good, strong cheddar cheese, on a cheeseboard, and even slathered on a hot dog.

Ingredients:
1 kg (2.2 lbs) red onions, thinly sliced
4 tbsps olive oil
170 gms (¾ cup) sugar
30 gms (2 tbsps) raisins (optional if you don't like them)
120 mls (½ cup) red wine vinegar
90 mls (1/3 cup) balsamic vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp hot chile powder
2-3 bay leaves, or ¼ tsp ground bay leaf

Method:
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and then add the onions.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low. Cook the onions gently for about 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid browning, until soft.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients, mix well, and raise heat to medium.
  • Cook for about 25-30 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the chutney is thick and gooey.
Makes 4 230cc jars

I made something similar, added about half an apple, finely diced. And some lemon juice. Served it with a side of hot smoked salmon. One guy at the party REALLY liked it, ate about half of the salmon filet. The fish and chutney were basically gone long before the party was over.
