I am flabbergasted that today is the first time I have heard of this. I saw a photo a fellow posted to another venue, a grilled cheese sandwich with ham and this stuff. He posted this link to the blog post with the sandwich recipe. I’m going to have to revisit that place when I have a little time:)
Anyway, I saw the words “onion jam” and had to run to Google to see what this stuff was. Plenty of variations on the caramelized onion theme, I chose a simple one: 4 yellow onions, sliced, 3 T butter, 2/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of malt vinegar. In a pan, heat the butter and add the onions,

cook them down until they are limp and a touch brown,

add the sugar and stir now and again until thick and caramelized,

add the vinegar and cook another few minutes. (I swapped into a smaller, non stick, pan.)

Ta-Da!
I will be doing this again, probably with balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar, red onions if I can find a big bag. A fun way to while a little time away and this stuff is good enough to eat with a spoon right out of a jar. I can see it on a hot dog, burger, cracker with goat cheese, pizza, or grilled cheese! Mmm…
