This jammy, savory-sweet red onion confit will be in high demand at your next dinner party. Simmering the onions in pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup ensures they get perfectly tender and infused with a touch of fruity goodness. Fresh thyme adds a savory herbal component to complement the tang of the onions while fresh pomegranate seeds create an eye-catching garnish. Serve the confit on sliced pears, mini toasts or naan bread, or whole grain crackers. You could also spoon it into dates for a tapas-style appetizer that will leave your dinner guests begging for the recipe!
