Onion Jam
Serves: ⅓ cup
 
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1⁄2 cups chopped yellow onions
  • 1 fresh thyme sprig
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1⁄8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1⁄8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a small sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Add onions, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and light golden brown, 10 to 14 minutes. (Keep heat low to avoid burning onions.) Stir in thyme sprig and bay leaf, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Sprinkle sugar over onions, and cook until sugar melts, 3 to 5 minutes more. Increase heat to medium-high, and cook until onions are an amber caramel color, 3 to 6 minutes more. Reduce heat to low, stir in vinegar, and simmer until mixture has a thick, jam-like consistency, approximately 5 minutes. Discard herbs, and stir in salt and pepper. Place in an airtight container, refrigerate, and use within 3 days.
