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!

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.

  1. I would make it my own by using fresh thyme as the herb. Then I would put a slice of Butterkase cheese atop a toasted slice of baguette, pop it under the broiler, until the cheese was soft and melty, then top it with a dollop of this gorgeous Balsamic Onion Jam.

  2. tweeted too!

  22. I would use it as a substitute for boring caramelized onions in my favorite ‘Bangers & Mash’ dish! Mmmm

  23. I subscribe to your emails ! I love vegetables and am always mixing sauces with my vegetables, so I would mix this with my steamed vegetables right before serving. Peas, okra, corn….many possibilities.

  24. I think I would place it on top of some cheddar cheese grits…mmmm…

  25. Excellent question. I tend to modify on the fly and I imagine I would with this too. It sounds amazing, but apple cider vinegar instead of balsamic, and sage instead of rosemary would be a new treat.

  26. I’d use the jam Brit pub style ala cheese and pickled onion sandwich or Ploughman’s Lunch with a nice Cheddar and Baguette.

  39. I would put this on a sandwich. Maybe one with some nice medium rare roast beef and melted Havarti cheese on sourdough. Now my stomach is growling.

  40. I make about the same but start with thick bacon chopped up and then continue as you do. At end I add 1/2 cup of aged cheddar before it cools

  41. I would make it my own by skipping the rosemary

  42. Oh my goodness, this would make a wonderful topping for miniature, savory muffins. Someone mentioned combing with sour cream to make a dip and that would be yummy too. I love getting your emails with so many wonderful recipes, ideas etc. Makes my day! Thanks so much.

  44. All I can think about is steak when I see this jam! I want a nice rare spicy seared steak with a spoonful of this beautiful onion jam and a small wedge of blue cheese on top. I know what I’m making for dinner on Saturday!

  45. My mouth is literally watering right now. I would try this onion jam recipe on some cornmeal pancakes. That sounds like it would be wonderful! And thanks so much for the giveaway…my pans are on their last legs. Fingers crossed!
