Instructions: Slice lemon, skin on, as thinly as possible. Remove any seeds.

Peel and slice onion as thinly as possible.

Put lemon and onion in a medium skillet with the remaining ingredients, cover pan, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.

NOTES : Without the honey, this has a sharp taste to accompany roast poultry or pork. If you prefer a sweet-sour taste, add the honey to the skillet with the other ingredients. Betty Fussells recipe calls for 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil and 1/3 cup wine. This stews the onion and lemon in a little more wine and adds the flavor of extra virgin olive oil.

Good news! vidalias were at the store! I made this relish to go on a sandwich. Cooled it quickly in a bowl of ice. Used some honey and ground coriander. Wonderful. I used about 1 tsp oil and dry sherry. Onions and lemons are soulmates! I recommend this one. [PatH]
