...in India while the Greeks and Romans enjoyed the pungency of this inexpensive vegetable to kick up their meals. Christopher Columbus took onions to the West Indies and from there they spread throughout the western hemisphere.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Not only is this recipe tasty, it is healthy, and a snap to make. You can use large yellow onions or large white sweet onions, whatever is available locally. Use apple cider vinegar or a combination of white vinegar and balsamic vinegar for more color. Onion Marmalade makes a great gourmet gift for foodies too. Put up several jars because once your guests taste some of yours, they will want their own.

7. Tuck 3/4 cup of spinach into the bottom of each filo dough crust.
8. Top with 1 Tbsp of onion marmalade and 1 slice of gorgonzola cheese.
