This recipe uses the natural pigments and nutrients found in onion skins to create a deep, flavorful sauce that is free from unhealthy additives.

Ingredients
1 cup of onion skin infusion (the “liquid gold” made by simmering red onion skins).

1 cup of fresh or frozen pitted cherries (no added sugar).

A splash of apple cider vinegar.

A pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

Optional: A fresh bay leaf for an earthy aroma.

Instructions
Prepare the Infusion: Simmer a handful of clean red onion skins in water until the liquid turns a deep, vibrant amber. Strain the liquid and discard the skins.

Combine: In a small saucepan, combine the onion skin infusion, cherries, and the bay leaf.

Simmer: Cook over low heat, stirring gently, until the cherries soften and the liquid reduces by half. The quercetin from the onion skins will merge with the antioxidants in the cherries.

Finish: Stir in the apple cider vinegar to brighten the flavor.

Serve: This “Delight” is perfect served over roasted root vegetables or as a topping for your homemade lemon cheese.

Why This Combination Works
Immune Support: Onion skins are a powerful source of quercetin, which supports heart and immune health.

Natural Coloring: The skins provide a magnificent golden-red color without any artificial dyes.

Zero Waste: By using the outer husks, you are practicing a mindful and respectful way of cooking that values the whole plant.
