📝 Preparation Steps
1
If canning, prepare a water bath canner, jars and lids before beginning. If not canning, no worries, just let it cool on the counter in jars before storing in the refrigerator.
2
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then add the sliced onions and stir to coat.
3
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the onions for ⏱️ 45-50 minutes, stirring often.
4
Prepare jars and a hot water bath.
5
Add maple sugar to the cooked onions and stir to dissolve the sugar.
maple sugar (or light brown sugar)1 cup
6
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the onions and sugar for ⏱️ 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
7
Carefully stir in the vinegar and lemon juice, being cautious of splattering and vinegar vapor.
8
Reduce the heat to medium and add salt to the mixture.
9
Cook the onion mixture until the vinegar has reduced to a sticky syrup, about ⏱️ 10-12 minutes.
10
Pour or ladle the hot jam into prepared hot jars, leaving ½ " headspace at the top of the jars.
11
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth, and apply the 2-part canning lids.
12
Preserve the homemade onion jam using a hot water bath canning method for ⏱️ 10 minutes, adjusting time if necessary for altitude.
13
After processing, turn off the heat and leave jars in the canner, uncovered, for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove the jars from the canner and let them cool for ⏱️ 12-24 hours, then check that the jars have sealed. Refrigerate any unsealed jars.
14
Sealed red onion jam will retain peak quality for up to 18 months stored in a cool, dry place or pantry. Refrigerate the jam once opened.
