Ingredients

• 4 large Yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the pan and stir to coat them in the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the onions are soft, golden brown, and fully caramelized. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.

Step 4

Once the onions are caramelized, add the balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, fresh thyme leaves (if using), black pepper, and water. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the mixture becomes jam-like in consistency.

Step 6

Taste the onion jam and adjust sweetness or tanginess if needed by adding a bit more honey or vinegar to your preference.

Step 7

Remove the jam from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will thicken as it cools.

Step 8

Serve the Low Sodium Sweet and Tangy Onion Jam as a spread on bread, with cheese, or as a topping for roasted dishes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
