Bring to the boil.

Cover the pan and cook on a reduced heat until the fruit is soft and the liquid reduced and syrupy, approx 25 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a sterilised jar and seal. Keeps in a refrigerator for a week or so.

While cooking heat 5ml (1tsp) oil in a frying pan and cook 2 onions, sliced over a high heat until golden and crispy.
