Ingredients
- 300 g red onions
- 500 g fresh figs
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil (e.g., rapeseed oil)
- 200 g brown sugar
- 200 ml red wine (alternatively: white wine)

Preparation
Prepare 4 (200ml) jars by scalding with boiling water or boiling in a pot, then let them drain on a clean towel
Peel onions, halve them, and dice finely. Wash figs, pat dry, and cut into 2 cm pieces, including the skin
Heat oil in a large pot. Sauté onion cubes over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add figs and brown sugar, and simmer for 1 minute. Deglaze with red wine and red wine vinegar. Add salt and freshly ground pepper. Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until it reaches a marmalade-like consistency
Fill the hot chutney into the prepared jars and seal. Let it steep for at least one night. The chutney will keep unopened for about 3 months
