Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces shallots, trimmed and quartered
1 medium onion, cut into 8 wedges
1/2 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallots, onion, cherries, and thyme. Cover, and cook until shallots and onion are soft and beginning to caramelize, 12 to 14 minutes. Stir in sugar. Continue to cook, covered, until shallots and onion are caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add vinegar and 1/4 cup warm water. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and mixture is deep brown, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

This shallot cherry confit is a real winner! The flavors are perfectly balanced, with the shallots adding a savory sweetness and the cherries providing a tart pop. I served it over grilled chicken and it was a hit with my family.
