Ingredients:
2 large red onions 3 T. olive oil 1 T. minced fresh sage leaves 1 dried red chile pepper, crumbled 2/3 c. dried cherries 1/4 c. dry red wine 2 t. freshly ground black pepper 1/2 t. kosher salt 1 T. sugar 1 T. balsamic vinegar 1 T. butter
Directions:
Thinly slice 1 onion, coarsely chop the other. Combine in a medium bowl and mix. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 the onions, sage and chile. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring several times, for 6 minutes. Stir in onions, cherries, wine, pepper and salt. Cover and cook until the onions are just tender, about 6 minutes more. Uncover the skillet, sprinkle on sugar and cook over medium heat until syrupy, just a few minutes. Sprinkle on balsamic vinegar and add butter. Increase heat and sauté until onions are nicely coated, 4 to 5 minutes. Spoon confit into a clean glass jar and set aside to cool. Cover tightly and refrigerate.
