How to Make Onion Jam
- Peel and thinly slice 1 kg of red onions.
- In a large, heavy-based pot, heat 100ml of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and stir frequently until deeply caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
- Add 1 tbsp of mustard seeds and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Stir in 100g of brown sugar and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add 50ml balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Carefully pour the hot onion jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Alternatively, store in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for immediate use (consume within 2-4 hours).
- For longer storage, seal the jars tightly and let them cool completely before refrigerating. The jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
- Once a jar is opened, refrigerate and consume within 1 week for best quality.
