1 tablespoon coriander seeds

Place the onions, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and vinegar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and allow to rapidly simmer for 15 minutes. Add the brown sugar to the pan and cook, uncovered, for 1 hour or until the onions are soft and the syrup is thick. Pour into sterilised jars and seal immediately.

Serve the onion marmalade on sandwiches with roasted vegetables or meat. Makes 5 cups.
