Caramelised Onion Jam

I recently posted a recipe for Asian Chilli Jam which tasted delicious and was very easy to make so it got me thinking about other flavours that I could make using the same recipe, just changing a few of the ingredients. I decided upon an onion jam as I've been wanting to make an onion chutney for a while since hearing about one of my 'Chutney Chums' (the Boy & Me / Mummy Mishaps) recipes here.


You will need :

500g red onions (100g chopped & 400g sliced)

tbsp olive oil

220g tomatoes, roughly chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 red chilli, chopped

250g granulated sugar

100g Balsamic vinegar

• Blend the chopped onion, tomatoes, chilli and garlic together
• Fry the sliced onion lightly in the olive oil (don't brown it) for approx 10 minutes until soft
• Add the sugar to the sliced onions and bring to the boil
• Add the blended mix and balsamic to the sliced onions and sugar
• Simmer for around 45 minutes until thick
• Pour into sterilised jars

I will be doing a round up of all my homemade festive gifts this week so keep a look out for that.
