Onion Jam Recipe From The Test Kitchen
Savory onion jam is our go-to fall condiment
We're not crying over sliced onions this autumn. Instead, we're using them in an all-purpose condiment that will come in handy this holiday season. Our Test Kitchen's versatile, slow-cooked Vidalia-and-red-onion jam can dress roasted poultry, elevate leftover-turkey sandwiches or spruce up holiday cheese boards. Dried marjoram, rosemary and thyme add a homey, savory element; sweetness and tartness come from honey plus balsamic and red wine vinegars. And when we taste the finished product? Those are tears of joy.

Ingredients

Directions
- In a medium skillet set over medium-low heat, add the olive oil, Vidalia onion and red onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
