Sweet jams and jellies are a condiment that we all have in our fridge. I think of Apricot, Raspberry, Plum, Marmalade, Strawberry, and so on. They’re amazing on toast, English muffins or croissants 🥐 in the morning but also a good ingredient to add to sauces or marinades.
Now let’s talk about savory ones…
There’s a long tasty list of them. There’s Bourbon Maple Bacon Jam, Tomato Chili Jam, Mint Jelly, Jalapeño Jelly, Fig Balsamic Jam, Apple Rosemary Jelly 🍎, Spicy Red Pepper Jelly, etc. Another one that should be added to this list is my Bourbon Onion Jam!
This condiment is extremely flavorful! It’s great on pork, chicken, steak, as well as on burgers, hot dogs 🌭, and even in sandwiches. It can also be a delicious addition to a charcuterie board. It’s a fairly quick recipe – 40 minutes all together.
There’s a variety of onions 🧅 that can be used for this recipe. If you want “sweet”, it can be Vidalia, Walla Walla or Maui. The second best is yellow onions or white… your choice. If you prefer a sharper flavor, red onions are the way to go.
The onions are cooked slowly, bringing out their natural sugars. When they’re nicely caramelized, bourbon 🥃 is added and then simmered gently until the liquid is almost evaporated. The result is a nice smoky and savory flavor with a note of sweetness in the background.
I like my Bourbon Onion Jam soft but not jammy. If you want yours softer and almost spreadable, cook them longer ⏰ before adding the alcohol. One important thing is to taste and adjust seasoning if needed and it will need more at the end…
As the onions cook 🥘, the volume decreases enormously. Even when starting with 2 cups of onions, the more the mixture simmers, the less quantity you’ll end up with. By the time this recipe is done, it yields only a ¼ cup so if you want more then you’ll have to increase the amounts of the ingredients.
This Bourbon Onion jam is a delicious garnish. It can be spooned over pork, chicken, steaks, etc. or as a topping for burgers, hot dogs or even in sandwiches 🥪 as long as you don’t start eating it right from the skillet!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
