Balsamic Rosemary Onion Jam

Balsamic Rosemary Onion Jam

This is a big one folks.

Perhaps the biggest one yet.

In collaboration with Anolon® and their Make It Yours campaign this holiday season, I’m so excited to share this recipe with you today!

Anolon® Cookware Giveaway

But before you get distracted by the prospect of prizes galore, let’s talk onions.

Or, more specifically, onion jam.

It’s unlike any jam you’ve had before. Rich and savory, with a hint of sweetness and verdant rosemary, this jam would make an excellent side on your holiday table. Serve it with biscuits or toast; spread it on your turkey, swirl in in your mashed potatoes. It’s a versatile spread that’s part condiment, part sauce, and entirely delicious.

You know what’s amazing? Goat cheese biscuits with onion jam, that’s what. *Drops mic*

Balsamic Rosemary Onion Jam

What starts as almost 10 cups of sliced onions cooks down to a sweet, sticky jam. It may seem like a measly amount for all that time and effort, but that’s before you taste just how much flavor is packed into each bite.

Did you make this recipe?

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced (about 10 cups sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, translucent, and just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, rosemary, and salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and onions are dark brown and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 40 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool. Store in a glass jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

  2. I would actually throw some cranberries in. yum!

  3. I’d use it on burger dips! Burger dips are like a French dip sandwich, but with hamburger and Swiss cheese…use this jam, too, dip in au jus…delicious!

  4. I subscribe by email!

  5. I would try serving it with salmon! Yum!

  6. I would add bacon and use it as a burger topping along with bleu cheese!

  7. I instantly thought this would taste great smothered on grilled chicken! 

  8. I’ve never even tried onion jam before, so I’d love to try it your way before messing around with what I’m sure is a very good thing :)

  9. I actually have a recipe for a tomato and onion chutney that I posted in the summer at the height of tomato season. I didnt add balsamic (but love it and eat a little on my roasted squash every night lately) and your creation is PERFECT! Must.try.  Great giveaway, too!

  11. I follow on pinterest under elyseindc *fingers crossed*

  16. This jam would make the perfect little appetizer, spread on top of some creamy cheese and a little toast point. Simple and easy, but tasty!

  17. I want to put this on pizza. With bacon and goat cheese. Yum.

  20. I am hosting my office Christmas party this evening at my house.  I cooked 2 bottom round roasts in my Crock Pot overnight  – Balsamic Roast Beef recipe I found on Pinterest –  and will be shredding the meat and putting back in the  Crock Pot with the remaining juices for warm sandwiches. I think I just found one more recipe to whip up today!  I will make the onion jam “as is”  for the perfect accompaniment to the  Balsamic Roast Beef Sandwiches.   I am so glad I saw this post this morning!

  21. I tweeted!

  22. I follow you both on Pinterest: kwpulsipher

  23. I would put it on grilled cheese! Yum!

  24. I follow on Pinterest (kbags42)

  25. I’d add  bacon or pancetta!  then, feeling ambitious,  I’d  make  some kind of savoryrugelach  with this and some crumbled  goat cheese.

  26. Gish – wouldn’t it be yummy with some cold ham? Or with some crusty bread and a chunk of cheese? Yum.

  27. I subscribe via email.

  28. grilled cheese sandwich!

  29. Spread on a pizza crust. Meanwhile, mix together cream cheese and feta cheese, drop chunks of the mixture on top of pizza and bake until cheese is a little browned. 

  30. Chipotle onion jam on grilled cheese, anyone?

  35. I’d put a spoonful in the egg base of a frittata (parm + roasted tomato or artichoke + prosciutto). That way I’d spread the goodness. 

  36. I’d add some white wine with the balsamic and spices. Love onions, balsamic and wine together.

  37. I already followed loveandoliveoil on Pinterest and now follow Anolon as well. My user name is dh127.

  38. I’m already subscribing to your email updates.

  39. I would probably have it first on a cheeseburger (with bacon jam, too.) The possibilities are practically endless! (I LOVE onions, especially sweet onions.)

    Thanks for a chance at the giveaway! I’d be thrilled to win! Happy Holidays!

  40. I am planning on serving this with scrambled eggs, caviar and toast points for New Years Eve Midnight Brunch…with champagne of course!

  41. Oh my goodness – it looks amazing! Put some in a little sour cream and I’m sure it would beat any onion dip anywhere!!!!!!

  42. Put it in a pasta dish with creme, tomatoes and a little balsamic!

  43. I would put it on my deep dish pizza.

  44. I’d maybe add a little port to the onion jam and serve it on grilled beef tenderloin. I love onions & caramelized onions, but have never gone as far as “onion jam”. Can’t wait to try this

    Thanks!

  45. Oops, tweeting was supposed to be a separate comment. Its early…

  46. Subscribed via email, tweeted too! Can you tell I’m motivated?

  48. I’d put it in a grilled cheese sandwich, yum!

  49. I’d try this as an appetizer… small toasts with a triangle of tart apple (grannies, prop), a dollop of jam, topped with a bit of goat cheese… all warmed for a few to get the cheese a little melty.

    Can’t wait to make this!
