Caramelized Onion Jam
Gr8 to top steaks or prime rib. Also delicious as an appetizer, see Gr8 Tips.
Servings: 8 meat toppings
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ¼ pounds onion, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ¼ cup whiskey (I used bourbon), or apple cider
- 2 Tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and toss to coat evenly in the butter-olive oil mixture.
- Stir in thyme, honey and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. This should take about 12 - 20 minutes, depending on the pan you are using and the moisture content of the onions.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the whiskey and white balsamic vinegar. (Remove the pan so the alcohol doesn't ignite!)
- Return the pan to the stove and turn to high heat, bring to a boil then turn down to simmer.
- Simmer until the moisture is reduced and mixture thickens to a jam like consistency, about 20-30 minutes.
