Onion Jam
Onion Jam is the jam! Caramelized onions, sweet prunes, and spices reduce down into a heavenly condiment. This recipe goes well for burgers, steak, pork, on crackers or even toast for breakfast!
Servings: 12 (2 tbsp each)
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 lb. sweet onions finely diced
- ¼ tsp freshly minced thyme
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- freshly-cracked black pepper a few turns
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ½ cup finely diced prunes
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, warm oil over medium heat; add in the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until onions are soft and translucent, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes.
- Add broth, sugar, honey, vinegar, ginger, and prunes to the pot; continue cooking, stirring frequently, until onions begin to caramelize and prunes break down, about 10-15 more minutes.
- While cooking, continue to stir to prevent scorching. If the mixture seems to be a bit dry, add a small splash of water toward the end. Do not overcook! Onions should be caramelized, and there should still be a little bit of juice in the pot when it’s ready.
- Let jam cool, then transfer to a lidded jar and store in the refrigerator.
