Onion and Celery Seed Relish
Ingredients:
1 cup white wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar   2 x tbsp confectioners’ (powdered) sugar   2 x tbsp celery seeds   2 cups thinly sliced small onions
1 cup finely chopped celery   1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Method:
In a salad bowl, stir together the vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add the celery seed, onions, and celery and mix well until combined.
Cover and chill several hours or overnight. Serve very cold. Serve on sandwiches, as a side for any meal, or mix with your favourite lettuce salad.

Balsamic Onions
Slice lots of onions (nice next day reheated) into rings and separate the rings. Place in a pan with a little water, and simmer with the lid on till the onions are tender.
By this stage, most of the liquid is gone.. stir often so it doesn't burn. Add a spoonful or two of balsamic vinegar and another 1 or 2 of brown sugar - both to your taste.
Stir through and serve hot.   Delicious with a bbq.  Can be made in advance and reheated.  It's really nice also with capsicums.
