This is the best onion jam recipe, friends. Double onion flavor thanks to sweet onions and onion soup mix, depth from Worcestershire and instant coffee, a little zing from vinegar and just sweet enough thanks to some brown sugar.Make this oniony condiment immediately for use on burgers or to serve as part of a cheese board or charcuterie plate.
salt and pepperto taste, if you happen to have smoked pepper, use that. But either will work.
2-3Tablespoonsonion soup mix
2teaspoonsinstant coffee
¼cupwater
¼cupdark brown sugar
¼cupvinegar
2TablespoonsWorcestershire sauce
Instructions
Heat a large pan over medium heat.
Add the fat, and then the onions.
Stir for a couple of minutes, then add salt, pepper (smoked or not), the onion soup mix, water, and instant coffee.
Give it another stir, bring it up to a boil, put on the lid, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, remove the lid and stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook over medium-low until most of the liquid has evaporated out and the mixture is jammy, about 45 additional minutes.
As the jam reduces and thickens, be sure to stir almost constantly to keep it from sticking.
Taste and add a touch more salt if necessary.
Cool, then cover and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
