Onion

My DH loves condiments - particularly ones he can use on his sandwiches. I bought a jar of Onion Jam at a market, he almost licked the jar clean. I have been busy re-creating the original and this recipe is amazing. If you enjoy cold cuts (ham, roast beef, silverside etc) this might be for you.

Time 45m

Yield 1 litre

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons oil (vegetable)
10 medium sized onions (just under 2 kilos)
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Peel and thinly slice your onions (I use a Mandolin for this).
  • In a large heavy based pot, heat the oil and add the onions, stir frequently over a medium heat until caramalised (15-20 minutes).
  • Add the mustard seeds and fry for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add the brown sugar and cook for another 2 minutes (it needs to be well dissolved).
  • Add the remaining ingredients and reduce to a low simmer and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Carefully pour the hot onion jam into prepared jars ( hot sterilized jars if you want to keep them on your shelf - will keep for 6 months) or a clean jar if you want to pop it into your fridge and use it within 2-4 hours (or once chilled). Keeps in the fridge for 4 weeks. Once a jar is opened, this jam must be refridgerated.
