Ingredients

0.25 cup vegetable oil
0.5 cup white sugar
4 cups onion, coarsely chopped
0.25 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
0.5 cup red wine vinegar

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
In a heavy skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add sugar and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the mixture turns a light caramel color, approximately 10 minutes. Be cautious as the mixture will be very hot.
Incorporate onion, salt, and black pepper into the sugar mixture. The onions will begin to caramelize immediately. Stir frequently over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the onions are nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
Add red wine vinegar to the onion mixture and simmer until it reaches a jam-like consistency, roughly 30 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
