1 Bring onions, pickling liquid, honey, fruit, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes or until reduced to 1 cup. Set aside to cool. Add salt to taste, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
