Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds sweet yellow onions, sliced
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1-1/2 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon finely minced summer savory, or try a combination of thyme and rosemary
2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pepper, crushed

Steps:

  • Fill a canning pot with water, set the lid in place, and heat on high heat until boiling. It can take awhile for the water to come to a boil, so get it started before you begin making the jam.
  • Gather the jars you'll use, making sure each is clean and free of nicks in the rim, which could impede sealing.
  • Bring a small pot of water to a simmer and turn off the heat. Drop the rings and lids into the water and leave them there until you're ready to screw them onto the filled jars.
  • Put olive oil and onions in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat stirring only occasionally; cook until golden, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add sugar and balsamic vinegar and cook until thickened and somewhat syrup-y. Add salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • Proceed with canning steps or cool and transfer to an airtight container for refrigerator storage.
  • Ladle hot jam into quarter-pint, half-pint, or pint sized jars, leaving 1/4" head space. A canning funnel makes this easy.
  • Wipe jar rims to remove any jam that may have spilled. A clean rim is essential to a good seal.
  • Set jar lids in place. Screw bands on finger tight.
  • Use a jar lifter to gently submerge jars into hot water in the canning pot. Water should cover the top of the jars by an inch. The water will cool somewhat in reaction to the addition of the jars. Return the water to a simmer and then set the timer.
  • Process for 10 minutes 0-1,000 feet altitude; add an additional minute for every additional 1,000 feet in elevation.
  • Remove jars from water using the jar lifter and transfer to a solid, towel-covered surface. Allow to cool for 24 hours.
  • Check seals. Lids should be solid and pulled down tight. (if they flex and pop, the jar didn't seal; put unsealed jars in the refrigerator and use those first).
  • Remove rings and wash outsides of jars. Store in a cool, dry place.

Tips:

  • Use Sweet Onions: Sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla are best for caramelizing and making the onion jam, as they have a naturally sweet flavor that pairs well with the balsamic vinegar.
  • Caramelize Onions Slowly: Caramelizing onions takes time and patience. Cook them over low heat and stir frequently to prevent burning. The onions should turn a deep golden brown and have a sweet, rich flavor.
  • Use Good Quality Balsamic Vinegar: The balsamic vinegar used in the onion jam is important for adding a complex and flavorful sweetness. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years and has a thick, syrupy consistency.
  • Puff Pastry Shortcut: If you're short on time, you can use store-bought puff pastry dough instead of making your own. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using.
  • Egg Wash for a Golden Crust: Before baking, brush the tops of the onion tarts with an egg wash made from one egg beaten with a tablespoon of water. This will help the crust brown and give it a beautiful golden color.

Conclusion:

These onion tarts with balsamic onion jam are a delicious and elegant appetizer or light meal. The combination of sweet caramelized onions, tangy balsamic vinegar, and flaky puff pastry is sure to impress your guests. With a little planning and effort, these tarts are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
