Sweet Onion Jam Recipe

By Francesca Black

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp grapeseed oil
• 2 whole vidalia onions, sliced 1/4 of inch thick
• 2 whole red onions, sliced 1/4 of inch thick
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 2/3 cup golden balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup water
• thyme sprigs

Method

1. Heat oil in dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add all onions and sauté until onions are soft and starting to caramelize, about 25-30 minutes.
2. Add garlic and thyme sprigs and sauté for a minute or two.
3. Add red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot.
4. Sprinkle sugar over the simmering onions and mix in the vinegar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently until onions are jammy and liquid is reduced, 35-40 minutes. Stir often and add more water by the tablespoon to prevent sticking.
