Onion Jam
Pour it over some melted Brie or softened cream cheese and serve with
crisp crackers for a really incredible taste sensation.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Ingredients:

* 2 Tbsp. olive oil
* 2 Tbsp. butter
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 4 cups coarsely chopped onions
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1/8 tsp. white pepper
* 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
* 1/2 tsp. caraway seed

Preparation:
In large saucepan, heat oil with butter over medium heat until butter
melts. Stir in brown sugar and sugar, then cook, stirring constantly
with wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture forms a
syrup, about 10 minutes. Add onions, salt and pepper, then cook for 15
minutes, stirring frequently, to brown and cook onions.

Add vinegar and caraway seed and stir well to mix. Simmer over medium
heat for 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture combines and
thickens. Cool completely. Store in tightly sealed containers in
refrigerator up to 3 weeks. Serve over a Brie cheese that has been
heated in a 350 degrees F oven for 10-12 minutes, or over cream cheese
that has been standing at room temperature for an hour. Also can be
used as a sandwich spread, or a topping for grilled meats.
