Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/4 pounds onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup whiskey (I used bourbon) (or apple cider)
  • 2 Tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

Instruction

  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onions and toss to coat evenly in the butter-olive oil mixture.
  • Stir in thyme, honey and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. This should take about 12 - 20 minutes, depending on the pan you are using and the moisture content of the onions.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the whiskey and white balsamic vinegar. (Remove the pan so the alcohol doesn't ignite!)
  • Return the pan to the stove and turn to high heat, bring to a boil then turn down to simmer.
  • Simmer until the moisture is reduced and mixture thickens to a jam like consistency, about 20-30 minutes.
