OurSweet Balsamic Onion Relish Recipe is so good that you might even eat it plain. We love putting it on our piling it on our burgers, topping it on our eggs, piling it high on grilled mushrooms or even on some toast with cheese.
The best part of all it’s quick and easy to make. There’s no muss and no fuss. Just slice up your onions and let it cook for the most part.
If you don’t want them sliced you can also dice up your onions. Dicing them up makes this sweet balsamic onion relish recipe even easier to use as a topping for small bites!
Onions are one of our favorite root vegetables and we go through them often. In our house we eat about one to two onions a day. We love them grilled, sautéed, caramelized or even raw in a salad or sandwich.
For a great burger recipe using our caramelized onions visit Courtney’s Sweets and try theAvocado Bacon Burger with Sweet Balsamic Onion Relish. It has an entire avocado on it! This burger recipe is insanely delicious!

You can cook the vinegar until it’s reduced and the sauce becomes thick or you can simply drain and then have just the onions without the thick sauce.
I’ll be using this relish for the rest of the week. It’s great to make a batch and just have in your refrigerator for whenever you’d like to use it. Make a simple and easy dinner even more delicious with ourOurSweet Balsamic Onion Relish Recipe! It’s so good that you’ll most likely be making it weekly, sorry in advance! 😉

Hi,
I’m a little confused, do you put the liquid into the jar or do you strain the onions and only put the onions in the jar?
Thanks 🙏Reply
- Courtney
We reduce the liquid and it becomes a bit thicker and coats the onions. We always store it in the liquid that’s created when making.:)
