Carmelized Onion Relish

Our daughter's graduation BBQ is Saturday. I'm planning on serving different types of sausages and good quality hot dogs. I wanted something other than the typical pickle relish to top the sausages. I'm trying my hand at an onion relish and this tastes pretty dog gone good! I can't wait to try it on other BBQ meats this summer. If you make it a day or two ahead the flavors get even better.
This was a big hit at our BBQ on Saturday! My son, Christopher, gave it a thumbs up!
Yields about 2 1/2 cups

3 large sweet onions sliced thin
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/8-1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 teaspoon each of dry mustard, ground coriander, ground ginger
5 dashes of tabassco sauce
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet with a lid, melt the butter and add the onions. Cook over medium heat with the lid on, stirring occasionally until the onions are carmelized, about 20 minutes. Add the brown sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar, spices, bay leaf and  tabassco. Continue to cook, stirring often until vinegar is mostly absorbed. Remove bay leaf and store in frig.
