Steps:
- 1. Prepare water bath canner; sterilize your jars and lids while making the recipe. (TIP: Skip the boiling water and put your jars on a baking sheet in a 225 degree oven for 25 minutes - then reduce heat to 200 to 'hold' until ready to use. - No more boiling cans for me!)
- 2. In a large deep stainless steel saucepan combine red onion, lemon zest, and vinegar. Stir in sugar and over high heat, stirring constantly, bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. *TIP: You can microwave the onion skins in the vinegar to help give the finished product a richer color, or add drops of red and blue food color until you get the desired color. I use food color.
- 3. Stir in pectin. Boil hard, continuing to stir, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and quickly skim off any foam.
- 4. Working quickly, ladle hot preserves into hot jars, leaving 1/4" head-space. Wipe rim with damp paper towel or rag then seal with lid and screw on band to fingertip tight.
- 5. Place jars in canner and make sure the jars are completely covered with water. Bring back to a boil and process for 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool.
- 6. Use this with my https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/bread-other-bread/garlic-parmesan-panetini.html?cpage=1#comment1379288 and Brie cheese.
- 7. *Notes: When I first made this I increased the recipe 7 times. When you multiply a recipe by this much the end product may not set up exactly as a single batch. That being said, I really like the end product of the large batch because it has a thick preserve-like texture. If you want it firm like jelly I'd recommend adding more pectin or making a smaller batch. Ingredients: 7 cups lg red onions, minced, about 5 large onions zest of 2 lg lemons 5 3/4 C white vinegar 5% acidity or higher 21 cups white sugar (this is not a typo) 7 pouches of Liquid Certo pectin
ONION JAM
A family favorite. Expect a few wrinkled noses maybe at the title, but result is worth the effort. Maybe not for beginning cooks since there's a couple potentially tricky steps. Serve a cup of jam over a bar of cream cheese with crackers, or as a spread for meat sandwiches. Keep in refrigerator in covered container for up to two weeks.

Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Red onions are best for this recipe because they have a milder flavor than other types of onions.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the vinegar mixture better.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
- Bring the vinegar mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer: This will help infuse the onions with flavor and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Let the preserves cool completely before storing: This will help them set and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
Zesty red onion preserves are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. They are perfect for adding a pop of flavor to sandwiches, burgers, and salads. They can also be used as a topping for grilled meats or fish. No matter how you choose to use them, zesty red onion preserves are sure to be a hit!
