Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Preparation Steps

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to caramelize, about 20 minutes.

  • Add water to deglaze the pan and continue cooking until the onions are jam-like in consistency, about 5-10 minutes.
