Onion jam - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the apple in this onion jam recipe?

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.

How long does homemade onion jam last in the refrigerator?

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.

Is this onion jam recipe vegan-friendly?

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.

Can I freeze onion jam for later use?

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.

What's the best way to caramelize onions faster for this jam?

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.

Are there low-sugar alternatives for this onion jam?

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.

How can I use onion jam beyond serving as a condiment?

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.

Can I make this onion jam without a blender?

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.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
