This is so sweet and the onions have been cooked down so much that they melt in your mouth! And the thyme with the rum just go so well with the sweet onions! I just eat the jam with crackers, but you can also serve this on top of steaks, burgers, hot dogs or wrapped inside puff pastry dough. Or serve with crackers and cheese! There are so many ways to enjoy onion jam!
This recipe was posted on a cooking site by a cook known as JimRug. So JimRug is the reason I'm hooked on this onion jam!
