Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 2 lbs total) yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons date paste
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into even half-moon slices to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced onions to the pan. Stir well to coat the onions in the oil.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the onions for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized. The onions should turn a deep golden brown without burning.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, date paste, and water until combined.

Step 6

Once the onions are caramelized, add the vinegar mixture to the pan. Stir well to deglaze the pan and coat the onions in the sauce.

Step 7

Add the sea salt and ground black pepper, stirring to combine evenly.

Step 8

Let the mixture simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the liquid reduces slightly and the jam reaches a thick consistency.

Step 9

Remove from heat and allow the onion jam to cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
