How To Make onion jam
-
1In a medium saute pan, heat the oil until it begins to smoke lightly. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Cook until the onions give up their liquid, 3-5 minutes, and then add the red wine. Lower the heat and cook the onions until the wine reduces almost completely. Leave on low heat while you prepare the gastrique.

2In a separate small pan, heat the honey until it begins to bubble and froth. Cook until the honey turns a light caramel color, an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the red wine vinegar, simmer for a few minutes on a low heat, and shut off the heat. Pour the honey mixture over the onions and continues cooking them over low heat until all of the jucie is absorbed and the onions are a jam-like consistency, 10-15 minutes. If you desire, add the lemon juice and zest at this point. Taste for seasoning and transfer to a bowl to cool until ready to serve.
