Ingredients for Apple Onion Jam

  • Yellow Onion
  • Apple Cider
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 6 whole allspice berries
  • Jalapeno
  • Sweet Apple

How to Make Apple Onion Jam

  1. Combine 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, in a small saucepan with ¾ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons apple cider, and 6 whole allspice berries.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes until onions soften.
  4. Remove and discard the allspice berries.
  5. Peel, core, and thinly slice 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith).
  6. Add the sliced apples and the remaining ¾ cup apple cider to the onion mixture.
  7. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is soft and jam-like, about 30-40 minutes. Adjust cooking time depending on desired consistency.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature. The jam will thicken further as it cools.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
