Description

Rich and savory-sweet onion jam, perfect for adding depth to pâtés or elevating simple sandwiches.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lbs (700 g) onions
  • 1 oz (25 g) butter
  • 5 oz (140 g) sugar
  • 7 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 1 cups (250 ml) red wine

Instructions

  1. Peel, slice, and roughly chop the onions into 2cm pieces.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat until it turns brown.
  3. Add the onions and sugar, mix well, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook, covered, over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the wine and sherry and cook for another 30 minutes without a lid, stirring frequently.
  6. Sterilize the jars in an oven at 356°F (180°C) for 10 minutes and fill while they are still hot.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, use a combination of yellow and red onions.
  • If you don’t have sherry vinegar, substitute with red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
  • Store the jam in sterilized jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; it will keep for several months when canned properly.
