Onion Jam

Ingredients:
  • 6 large red onions thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Smoked Paprika (according to taste)
  • 1 cup coffee (fresh brewed drip coffee)
  • 1/2 cup currants (you can use raisins too, but I prefer currants)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • extra water
Directions:
In a heavy bottomed pan:

1. Fry the onion until lightly browned (you could do this in batches too)
2. Add garlic and continue and cook for a few more minutes on medium heat

After ~5 minutes of cooking

3. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the water. Simmer for 2 hours adding 1/4 of a cup of water every 25-30 minutes or so and stirring.
4. To store:
  • Once cool, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container
  • Or you can can it (while still hot)

Serving suggestions:

Open faced sandwich with onion jam, goat cheese, walnuts and arugula


Crostini with burrata, onion jam, fig & ghost pepper salt
