Stir and cook until the onions are soft and beginning to brown at the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sugar, vinegar, water, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue simmering until most of the liquid is reduced and the mixture is the consistency of jam, about 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Notes: This became my favorite topping for almost anything...great on pasta, on a piece of bread as a snack, pretzel dip, it keeps for weeks in the fridge and can be frozen. I made a huge batch for a party and did a little research on the best sundried tomato prices....amazon has decently priced dried and bagged julienned tomatoes but Trader Joes by far had the best deal, $2.50/ 8oz jar. I usually make double batches of this since it keeps so well.
