I found this Red Onion Jam recipe on the HomeSick Texan Blog site. Lisa Fain has a great perspective on cooking.
Spicy Red Onion Jam is a simple recipe to make.
It is a go-to jar I reach for in the refig when making a sandwich now. So what do you do with spicy red onion spread? This is great with roasted or grilled meats, and would be incredible on a cheeseburger, a steak or even a cheese quesadilla.
If you stir it into softened cream cheese, goat cheese or sour cream, you can make the best onion dip.
