Ingredients
Gather and prep the ingredients. It is important to get everything completely prepared before you start cooking, as it all happens pretty quickly once you get started.
Cook to soften and season. In a large pot, cook the onions in hot oil over moderately high heat until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Smother it in sugar. Don’t stir, don’t shake, don’t even poke! Leave those onions alone until the sugar has all been melted and is a bubbling liquid.
Cool. Once this Sweet Onion Jam has cooled, you are ready to do just about whatever your heart desires with it. Just remove the herb bundle and discard it first.
