Onion Jam

8 servings

180 minutes

Once the Italians thought: what if we make jam from onions? It turned out great, so onion jam is still eaten. It goes well with meat and blue cheese, or you can just eat the jam with bread. This is probably the most unusual way to cook onions, and, what's nice, it's also simple: the main thing is to watch the amount of liquid.
