Step-by-Step Instructions for Simple Caramelized Onion Jam
  1. Begin by filling a canning pot with water and bringing it to a boil. Gather and clean your canning jars.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, stirring occasionally. Cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar and balsamic vinegar. Continue cooking over medium heat for about 45 minutes, stirring regularly until thick and syrupy.
  4. Add a pinch of salt, ground black pepper, and summer savory during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Stir well to combine.
  5. Pour the hot jam into prepared jars, seal with lids, and process in boiling water for 10 minutes.
  6. Let the jars cool at room temperature for 24 hours. Check seals and store in a cool, dark place.
