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.

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. Oooh this sounds delish as is, but I’m sure my roommates would want to kick it up a notch with some chili powder!!

  3. I would smear it on a delicious biscuit with fresh crumbled goat cheese! And maybe add some bacon. Bacon AND onion jam? Yum!

    Grilled cheese w/ onion jam!
    Spinach and onion jam omelet!

  5. I don’t like onions. My boyfriend loves them but he’s not a big balsamic fan so I would omit the balsamic and substitute soy sauce, or red wine vinegar for him.

  23. Onion jam would make an interesting pizza component!

  24. I would not change the recipe. I think that it would make a lovely sandwich. Poppyseed roll and the best roast beef sliced thin piled high with layers of jam and a good cheese.

  25. I’d use the jam to make tarts with goat cheese!  I love onion jam- also on sandwiches or grilled cheese.

  38. I make an onion jam that is exactly the same as this one, with one exception (I don’t add brown sugar). I love it on almost anything; flatbread with arugula and goat cheese, in a fritatta, on a burger or grilled cheese, on top of fried green tomatoes with bacon and spicy black beans…the list goes on and on.

  42. I’d use Vidalia Sweet Onions. I live in Georgia and they’re a staple around here. Also, I think I’d experiment with different balsamic vinegar flavors. Fig, perhaps? Maybe a selection of berries? This sounds really yummy!
