A kilo of red onions sliced finely into a large pan along with half a litre of red wine vinegar and 250g brown sugar.

Simmer until onions soften then boil hard until liquid reduces completely ( careful it doesn’t catch) then a couple of tablespoons golden syrup to add stickiness before potting - a warm glow develops as you feel all domestically goddessed! ?‍??

Ooh, Pant , red onion marmalade sounds delicious. How do you make it.
I really need to get myself going to make some more piccalilli and branston type chutney, in preparation for the Christmas fete - assuming they take place. If not, lot of lucky people...

Morning GrandMattie and all who follow, I wondered who’d be deputising for Mick, you’re usually in the first wave, bright and bubbly!

I’m making Red Onion Marmalade this morning so there will be tears ?as I don’t have a slicing blade on my little processor here in Spain!

Sage and onion chicken tray bake for dinner this evening along with salad then Eton Mess for pudding is about as much cooking as I can muster on a lazy Sunday!

A peaceful day for all ?

Morning Mattie and all to follow, from Manchester where it looks like the sun is shining - for now. Dgs who is 4 has been away for a few days. He doesn't know yet that he can't visit us due to lockdown, very sad all round. Few chores, hope to potter in the garden before any rain falls, I can see lots of weeds ?. Hope Mr Gillybob is doing OK and Mick is enjoying his break. Have the best day everyone.

Good Morning Mattie and all who follow. Thank you for opening up. It’s bright start to the day on Severnside and I’ve got a chamber pot this morning.

I shall potter today. Some weeds need my attention in the front garden and I have a dress to shorten for DD but will probably save that for a rainy day. I also have a new book to start.

Have a lovely Sunday (especially those roasts) everyone ?

Good morning from a bright, already warm E Kent.
Don’t know if I qualify as “regular” but thought I would start the thread as I have been up for an hour now.
Not a lot again today. Shall watch the church service streamed from Bristol where DD is a vicar, rather than go to my local church. When we went, we came home frightened and anxious. Not at all what we looked for! We’ve decided to leave attending for a while.
Got a piece of beef to roast with all the trimmings. DS1 gets no beef in India, obvs, + he has spent the last week with DD who is vegetarian!
Have the best day possible everyone. X
