Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 medium (about 2 lbs) yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons dry mustard powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into even half-moons. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir well to coat them evenly in the oil.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Reduce the heat to medium-low if the onions begin to brown too quickly.
Add the balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, honey, brown sugar, dry mustard powder, salt, black pepper, and water to the skillet.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients with the onions.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened and the onions have caramelized into a jam-like consistency.
Taste and adjust for sweetness or tanginess by adding a little extra honey or vinegar if desired.
Remove from heat and let the jam cool slightly before transferring it to a clean, airtight jar or container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Serve warm or cold as a condiment, spread, or topping.
