Easy Onion Jam Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 Spanish (or yellow) onions, finely diced
• 2 rosemary sprigs
• 3 thyme sprigs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup white balsamic vinegar
• ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet over medium-low heat.

2. 2

   Add the diced onions and begin to caramelize, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden, about 20 minutes. The onions should be about halfway to caramelized by this point.

3. 3

   Tie the rosemary and thyme together with kitchen twine and add to the onion mixture.

4. 4

   Add the sugar and let dissolve into the onions without stirring, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until darkened in color and thick, about 5-10 minutes. Avoid stirring unless the mixture starts to burn.

6. 6

   Reduce the heat to low and add the white balsamic vinegar, stirring until thick, about 5-10 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove from the heat, remove the herb bundle, and stir in the salt. Let the onion jam cool completely, then store or serve as desired.
