Carmelized Onion Jam Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Jimrug1 / All my dishes 1 year, 9 months ago A newer version of an old family recipe. My grandmother used Arak in this recipe but it had too much of a bite for me. I used dark rum instead. A wonderfull condiment on a cheese board or as an appetizer base spread on toasted bread or crackers. Prep:15m Cook:25m Servings:8	Jimrug1

I made this last night for a cookout, Jim - and it was delicious and it got tons of raves. I think this would be good to have on hand all the time. Wow - thanks, hon! ;-)~ Vickie

Another one I must make - this sounds like it would go so well with so many different things. The flavor just sounds outstanding!

I made this (one batch, plus another double batch) for Superbowl Sunday and it was a total winner again. I grilled some brined pork chops for about 20 folks and your jam paired perfectly with them. It was so popular - folks were eating your onion jam with chips and crackers...and dipping my Moroccan chicken wings in it and it was gone by half-time. They may have even licked the bowl. Wait - that may have been me. Heh. ;-)~

Bravo, Jim hon - this is one solid recipe and you made me look like a rock star. Again. Thank you - it's so delicious! Got some pics to share with you.

This sounds so unique and interesting! I'll have to see if I have some dark rum so I can try this!

This IS unique and sounds so good, I think I could just eat it as a dip or by spoonfulls myself!

Another winner...it sounds great and I think it would be very versatile..going with bread, meat, poultry..I'm making myself hungry!:0)High-five!

I just made this tonight! Let me put this in your words Jim...Mann, this is good!!! I made it as written except I didn't use clarified butter because I didn't have any and I didn't have time to make some. I also didn't have dark rum so I used regular rum. This still worked out beautifully! I was so tempted to add more rum and more sugar but I didn't! It is perfect as written! I wish I would of tripled the batch...it cooks down to a small bowl full, as you can see in my pic! I'll never buy onion dip again...this is so much better than that! Now I know what Lunasea was talking about!

Oh good grief, this is wonderful. Best onion jam ever. I would bottle this and sell it, it is so good. Simple ingredients combined in truly a superb recipe. Hubby ate his way through a whole sleeve of ritz without even slowing down to talk. LOL

A wonderful and versatile sounding jam, Jim! And from all the rave reviews so far, I have bookmarked this gem to try out soon! ^5

luisascatering 9 months, 2 weeks ago said:
Ooooooh yeah, I love me some caramelized onion jam!!! I'll send you a recipe for one I did just a few days ago :-)

I am hearing sooo much about this, can't be left out!! Gonna have to give it a try. Was all set to try today, but, I don't have any dark rum. I have some Jack Daniels that I cook with (my jack and coke days are long over...lol), crown royal, some patron silver, cuervo gold and some vodka...not sure any of those would work...do you think the jack or crown would work, or should I wait?

I ran out of rum and used some Maker's Mark for the last batch and it was wonderful. Fred will eat this with some cream cheese on a triscuit every day if I would let him. LOL
