strawberry balsamic vinegar onion jam
This sweet and savory onion jam is delicious on burgers, steak, chicken, and with crackers and cream cheese. Scott's Farms in Unicoi County, TN, makes the best Strawberry White Balsamic Vinegar. I use it with a Strawberry Spinach Salad with red thin-sliced onions and sugared walnuts (find in the produce section). But this onion jam is a sure win. Scott's strawberries are famous around here. You can only get them at the very end of April and the first 2-3 weeks of May. But that balsamic vinegar? Get it!

How To Make strawberry balsamic vinegar onion jam
-
Step 1Peel and dice onions into small, minced pieces. Use a chopper if you have one. Heat oil in a skillet and add onions. Cook 15 minutes until tender and golden brown. -
Step 2Reduce heat. Add thyme and bay leaf. Cook 5 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over the onions. DO NOT STIR for 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high. Cook 5 minutes more or until the sugar has caramelized. Reduce the temperature if you need to in order to keep from burning.
-
Step 3Add strawberry white balsamic vinegar and stir. Simmer 5 minutes. The jam should thicken. If not, simmer longer. You'll know if it's ready when you stir, and it breaks away on the bottom when you stir.
-
Step 4Remove the thyme and the bay leaf. Allow the jam to cool, or process it in a hot water bath in small mason jars for long-term keeping. If fresh, use it within a week or two. This freezes well.
