Roasted Red Pepper & Balsamic Onion Jam

Roasted Red Pepper & Balsamic Onion Jam

Chunky, spreadable, and concentrated, this savory, pungent jam accentuates whatever food it's served with. Use this jam to elevate your ho-hum chicken breast, pork chop, baguette and eggs to new levels!

I N S T R U C T I O N S :

  1. In a heavy bottomed saute pan (cast iron if available) heat 2 tablespoons of Cayenne Olive Oil over medium heat. Add the onion and season with salt. Slowly cook down the onions gently until the slowly become caramelized. This will take about 20 minutes with constant stirring. The goal here is to coax out the sweet, complex flavor of golden caramelized onions without actually burning them, as charring them will create bitterness.
  2. During the last five minutes of cooking, add the chopped peppers, Fig Dark Balsamic, ground black pepper, and thyme - increase heat to medium and continue stirring and cooking to reduce the balsamic. Add the still hot mixture to the bowl of a food processor or blender along with two more tablespoons of Cayenne Olive Oil. Process to desired consistency - I like a smooth paste. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  3. Spoon in to a jar and allow to cool. Serve with vegetable crudites, crackers, pork, chicken, sausages, as a replacement for Sriracha or ketchup, with fries, over eggs, with roasted potatoes - essentially, with everything.
  4. Can be stored in a sealed jar and chilled for up to a week. Makes about 1 cup of savory onion-pepper jam.
