Caramelized Onion Jam I Made It

Caramelized Onion Jam

lilliancooks 16 years ago

By Jimrug1...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!

Its already posted in this group, so here's the link!

Just took a look at that. Sounds great. I'd love to know how folks have used this other than as a cracker spread. It looks to be a pretty versatile condiment to have around the house. And not much effort to make.

If you didn't use clarified butter, did you just put in the same amount of regular butter?

I think this is great on meats, too.

Otter...I used the same amount of regular butter. We spread this stuff on cheddar cheese also! I was thinking of also spreading it on puff pastry to serve as an ore derve. Yes Juels, it would be great on meats! I just know I'll have to triple the batch next time!

Sounds fabulous, Lillian, and versatile too! Great pic as well !! I'm with Julia, I bet it's especially good with meats or on a burger.

Thanks for bringing it to us :)

I made this last night to serve as a side for roasted chicken, baked potato, and a salad. It was really good with the chicken! I think it would be great with pork tenderloin as well.

See Jim... another satisfied customer!

I have to make another batch today! Me and the Mr. can have it while watching American Idol tonight!

You should really think about jarring this stuff and selling it!

LOL! Juels! Thats exactly what I did last night! I made it again but this time a made a double batch...3 of us were eating it! LOL! I have about 1/4 leftover...so thats what I'll be eating while Hell's Kitchen is on!!! You must be a mind reader!

By the way...if you make a double batch of this amazing spread, you'll have to also double the cook time! So be ready to be in front of the skillet for a while! It' s SO worth it! Oh...and this stuff even tastes awesome when its warm!!!

It is good with cream cheese on triscuits. Snacking at it's finest.

Hey guys... I have been quite busy at work and have not been posting very much at all lately. My laptop at home is a dinosaur and on dialup to boot so most nights I cant even get on GR... LOL

Anyway... thanks so much for all of your positive feedback on the onion jam. Of all the recipes I have posted who knew it would be one of the most popular....;-)~ I am really glad you all like it so well.. A quick shout out to my grandmother... I don't know where she got the recipe from but she is the one I got it from.... ;-)~~
