Onion jam - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace the apple with 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or applesauce for acidity and sweetness. Pears also work well as a fruit-based substitute if you prefer a different flavor profile.
Store onion jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Always use clean utensils to prevent contamination and extend shelf life.
To make it vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Ensure your soy sauce is certified vegan (some contain fish derivatives) or use tamari.
Absolutely! Freeze in small portions using ice cube trays or airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating gently on the stove.
Add a pinch of baking soda while frying onions to speed up caramelization. Keep heat medium-low to avoid burning, and stir frequently for even browning.
Replace honey with monk fruit sweetener or erythritol for a sugar-free version. Reduce soy sauce slightly to balance saltiness since sugar alternatives may lack honey's mellowing effect.
Try it as a burger topping, mixed into salad dressings, stirred into soups, or as a glaze for roasted vegetables or proteins like chicken or tofu.
Yes! Simply chop the baked apple very finely before adding, and simmer the jam longer (10-15 minutes) until it reaches your preferred consistency. A potato masher helps create a chunkier texture.
