This balsamic sweet onion jam will be your favorite sweet-and-savory spread. It pairs wonderfully with cheese and crackers or on top of meat, fish, or tofu!
Are you ready for a STUPID delicious spread that you will want to put on all the things??
Because I have it.
I just HAD to make a recipe for this because I bought a very small jar in OCTOBER and I love this sooooo much that I have been savoring every last bite and just ran out. Like JUST ran out. Last night.
And since I do not plan on driving 40 minutes for a jar of amazing jam, AND since I would really prefer not feeling the need to use this super sparingly, I decided to learn to make this. So now I have an endless supply.
AND IT’S SO FREAKING DELICIOUS!
PLUS it is so freaking simple. I could literally make this every week.
Don’t put that past me.
Before I share the recipe, let’s just review some fantastical options for how you can use this amazingly sweet-and-savory balsamic sweet onion jam:
- On crackers or bread with cheese. I die.
- As a topping for basically any protein you could imagine.
- For a more indulgent version of the last one, mixed into a compound butter that you then melt on basically any protein you could imagine.
- In brie en croute (y’know… when you wrap brie in puff pastry. And sometimes add jam. Add BALSAMIC SWEET ONION JAM! (omg.)
- Stirred into rice. To go with basically anything.
- On a veggie burger. SO GOOD. Even better than caramelized or grilled onions.
- Alright I just thought of this one and haven’t tried it yet, but I am SO confident it would be amazing that I’m adding it anyway: stir this into SALAD DRESSING. Yasssss.
The options are totally endless. If you make this, let me know how you use it and what you like best. 😀
And now! The recipe! Super sweet and amazing balsamic sweet onion jam, here we come…
- 3 large onions, finely diced
- 1/2 C granulated sugar
- 2 T brown sugar
- 1/4 C balsamic vinegar
- 1 C water
- 2 t salt
- Combine everything in a large nonstick saucepan. Cook over low heat for an hour, stirring occasionally. If it dries out so much that the onions start to stick to the bottom of the pan, add a couple tablespoons of extra water.
