Ingredients

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
2 white or yellow onions thinly sliced (see note)
½ cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup dark brown sugar
sea salt and fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften – about 10 minutes.
Stir in the vinegars and brown sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the mixture reduces to a thick, jam-like consistency – about 20 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a jar or bowl and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

Notes

The large you cut the onions, the more texture the jam will have. For a very smooth texture, dice them finely or cut them extremely thin. For a chunkier jam, cut the onions into 1/4-inch slices.
