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!

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. I already subscribe to your newsletter! (under the same email I’m commenting with) which is actually how I learned about this fantastic giveaway! thank you for this awesome opportunity, I’ve been using the T-fal cookware I got in 1988 and it’s high time they were replaced!!

  3. My first thought when you said ‘jam’ was to add grape jelly to the mix… I don’t know if that would taste good or not though. Your recipe is probably delicious without any other additions though….might even try it out in my Christmas menu!

  4. I subscribe to your newsletter.

  5. I would spice it up with some chipotles.

  6. If that glorious concoction doesn’t deserve to go on pizza, I don’t know what does! I’m almost drooling. At least I know what we’re having for dinner! ;)

  20. I think this onion jam would make a great pizza base years ago Stonewalls kitchen sold their goods at a local farmers market(before they became huge) They made an awesome onion jam which I used as a pizza base. That still carry it but it’s not the same. Can’t wait to try yours!

  43. Changing up the herbs and using different vinegars would be a good start

  44. First, I would use Vidalia sweet onions; and the finished product would be amazing on some little rye rounds with thinly sliced beef tenderloin and some blue cheese crumbles… Forgive the drool on the screen…

  47. I would add a little bacon to it and serve it on burgers or chicken.
