Notes
Marmallata may be a confusing name. It is different from the English marmalade. There is no citrus fruit involved. It is though neither a jam since it does not contain fruit. Nor a jam. And chutney does not cover our creation since it is not savory. Let's stick with marmallata and be happy, ok?What onion to use? Italians use the red Tropea variety. They are sweet by nature. But any kind of onion does the trick. Sharper varieties may need more sugar.Talking about sugar. We used caster sugar. Cane sugar or panela are fine. Don't forget to mention it when serving guests.About the white wine. Use decent wine. We used Yrnm zibibbo wine by Aziende Vinicolo Miceli.Instead of brandy, cognac or armagnac are more than fine. Aged rum does give the recipe a particular touch. Though maybe it is just a little over the top.
