Approx:

1kg red onions peeled halved and sliced
2 tblsps EVO
Good pinch of sea salt
150ml red wine
3 tblspns Balsamic vinegar
3 tblspns white wine vinegar (I use one in which I have steeped rosemary)
6 tblspns soft brown sugar

You need a heavy preserving type pan. heat the oil and add onions and salt.
Cook over low/med heat (about 30 mins) to caramelise. Keep an eye on it
that it doesn't catch and stir from time to time. Raise heat and add wine
and vinegars. Bring to the boil and reduce heat. Stir in the sugar and
cook on low heat, stirring occasionally for another 30-40 minutes and most
of the liquid has evaporated. You will probably like to add pepper at this
point but I don't bother. Taste it and see, but remember the flavour will
mature over time. Fill your jar/bottle and make sure there is no headspace.
Store in cool dark place for about one month to allow flavours to develop,
but Himself will open one almost straight away if I haven't made it for a
while) It is very good with meat loaf btw
