This is the one I've been making for a few years now . . . no idea where I got the recipe from but it's a favorite of mine!

Onion & Thyme Marmalade

2kg onions cut into rings, 750ml malt vinegar, 6 black peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, 850g firmly packed brown sugar, 2Tbs fresh thyme leaves, 1tsp salt, 10x3cm sprigs fresh thyme . . . Place the onion in a large pan with the vinegar. Tie the peppercorns & bay leaves in muslin & add to the pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer 40-45 mins, until onion is very soft. Add the sugar, thyme leaves & salt. Stir until sugar has dissolved, bring to the boil then simmer 20-30 mins or until thick & syrupy. Discard the muslin bag & stir in fresh thyme sprigs. Spoon onion pulp into clean, warm jars, then pour in syrup & seal. Leave for 1 mth to allow flavours to mature. Keep in cool, dark place for up to 12 mths. Refrigerate after opening for up to 6 wks.
