How to make onion jam: an exquisite recipe for onion confiture
Onion jam, or confiture, is credited to the Italians and French. We won’t find out who exactly came up with the idea of making onion jam, but we’ll just prepare it and enjoy this extraordinary taste.
To make onion jam, you need red or white onions - they have less bitterness.
Prepare the ingredients for the onion jam:
- 500 g onions;
- 150 g dessert wine (red for red onions and white for white onions);
- 25 g butter;
- 4 tablespoons of liquid honey or sugar;
- 2 tbsp. spoons of balsamic or apple cider vinegar;
- 0.5 teaspoons of dry Italian herbs;
- Salt, pepper, raisins - to taste.
Peel the onion and cut it into rings or half rings.
Fry the onion in butter over very low heat until it becomes transparent, but does not burn.
Add honey. Stir until the onions thoroughly simmer with the honey and lightly caramelize.
Pour vinegar and wine into the pan.
As soon as the mixture boils, place the pan on the divider so that the confiture barely simmers.
Add spices, salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the onion for about 15-20 minutes. During this time, the onion rings will be saturated with wine and honey taste and acquire an incredible aroma.
You can store onion confiture in tightly closed jars in the refrigerator. No one has yet been able to determine the shelf life, since they ate it within several days after preparation.
Onion confiture harmonizes wonderfully with meat, fish, and liver. Plus, you can simply spread it on toast, and simple items like toasted bread and onion jam will make your day unique and a little French.
