Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound sweet onions (, finely diced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly minced thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • a few turns of freshly-cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup finely diced prunes

Instruction

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, warm oil over medium heat; add in the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until onions are soft and translucent, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes.
  • Add broth, sugar, honey, vinegar, ginger, and prunes to the pot; continue cooking, stirring frequently, until onions begin to caramelize and prunes break down, about 10-15 more minutes.
  • (While cooking, continue to stir to prevent scorching. If the mixture seems to be a bit dry, add a small splash of water toward the end. Do not overcook! Onions should be caramelized and there should still be a little bit of juice in the pot when it’s ready.)
  • Let jam cool, then transfer to a lidded jar and store in the refrigerator.
