Ingredients
- 4 large red onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the red onions into uniform slices for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the oil.
Step 4
Cook the onions over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and become translucent. Lower the heat slightly if they start to brown too quickly.
Step 5
Stir in the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, water, salt, thyme, and ground black pepper.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. The onions should become caramelized and the liquid should reduce into a jam-like consistency.
Step 7
Taste the onion jam and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or a splash of balsamic vinegar if desired.
Step 8
Transfer the onion jam to a sterilized jar or airtight container. Let it cool completely before sealing.
Step 9
Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
