Heirloom Onion Jam
The fruity sweetness of onions lends themselves perfectly to this
condiment, excellent on sandwiches and delicious with sharp cheese
and roasted pork. Look for an assortment of heirloom onions in your
store.
Makes 1 cup
2 large heirloom or sweet onions (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
1 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon plum or seedless berry preserves
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
In medium skillet combine onions and red wine and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover skillet
and add honey, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered for 45
minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir in the
preserves and cook until the onion mixture is thick and the liquid
has become a glaze, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with
salt and pepper. Let onion jam cool to room temperature, cover and
refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.
