I was inspired to make this jam from someone in my amazing community and I am so excited to share this recipe with you because this caramelized onion jam is absolutely delicious. Enjoy it on a crostini with some organic goat cheese as a holiday appetizer or add it to your next cheese board (perfect for the holiday season). You only need 4 simple ingredients and some fresh herbs and spices. The key is to use sweet yellow onions to get the best flavor combination of sweet and tangy. It is gluten free, vegan, and dairy free and uses coconut sugar instead of traditional refined sugar you often see in grocery store onion jams.
For this recipe, you will need:
- Yellow Onions: You want to use these because they are a sweeter onion
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Coconut Sugar
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Thyme: fresh is best and adding in spices is optional
- Rosemary: fresh is best and adding in spices is optional
- Salt + Pepper to taste
Tips:
- Timing may vary once you add in the balsamic and coconut sugar. You want the sauce to become a glaze that is a bit thicker
- Fresh herbs are optional
How to Store:
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week
