Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed; 2 onions, coarsely chopped; 1 cup water; ¼ cup balsamic vinegar; ¼ cup brown sugar

This is an easy onion jam that is incredibly versatile. It enhances anything from rice or barley dishes to spreading on a piece of bread. Great accompaniment to chicken as well. You can substitute sherry vinegar for the balsamic vinegar.

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot oil until soft and caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes. Add water, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar; stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture is simmering. Reduce heat to low and cook until mixture thickens and reaches desired consistency, about 30 minutes.


This was very easy but a little more time consuming than I was expecting. I sliced the onions instead of chopping them because I thought it would look prettier than the chopped on the appetizers I had planned to make. I was delusional. Ah well it had good flavor.

I lost my onion jam recipe & was looking for a replacement. This fit the bill nicely! I used red onions, added a pinch of salt & cut the sugar down to about a tablespoon.. YUM!!!

Onions do not carmelize in 10 to 12 minutes, regardless of what the instructions say. Spend more time and actually carmelize the onions, and this will be so much better.

This sounds wonderful. Would like to make for gifts. Can it be canned?

this was okay--I have had better onion jam. Maybe needed to boil down the vinegar more to thicken. Still needed more flavor.
