Balsamic Onion Jam GUM

Ingrediente

3 medium onions, about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds, quartered and sliced – I usually double this

2 tablespoons olive oil – bacon grease is great for this

3 tablespoons vegetable broth

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar Salt, to taste

Instrucțiuni

Put the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat – these cook way down so use a medium skillet if you are making a smaller batch. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Cook the onions, stirring frequently, for 45 minutes, or until the onions are soft and golden brown.

Add the vegetable broth (you can use chicken broth), balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar.

Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the onions are very soft and liquids have reduced to a syrup consistency.

Use the onions to top beef, chicken, or turkey burgers, or as a condiment along with a beef or pork roast or steaks.

Store the balsamic onion jam in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Herbs may be added for extra flavor. Add a sprig of rosemary or a bouquet garnish with bay leaf, rosemary, and parsley to the onions along with the broth and vinegar.

Bacon-Onion Jam: Omit the olive oil. Dice about 1/2 pound of bacon and cook. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings and cook the onions, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Add the broth, vinegar, and brown sugar and continue with the recipe.
