Caramelized Sweet Onion Jam

I used Vidalia onions for my Carmelized Sweet Onion Jam, but you could use red, white or yellow. I prefer the slight sweetness Vidalia onions gives the jam. You will not have that slight sweet flavor using another variety, but your Onion Jam will still be good if you choose to go with another onion variety.

Caramelizing onions properly takes time. You want to cook them low and slow to bring out the most flavor. It took me about an hour to caramelize the onions. I then added the apple cider, apple juice, and other ingredients and cooked it until the liquid evaporated.

For proper canning procedures, follow the instructions recommended by the jar manufacturer.
