COOKING TUTORIAL: Onion Jam
by Chef Mitch

Chef Philip started making this recipe about a year ago, and now we consider Onion Jam a staple that we must have available at all times.  Sweet and onion flavored, this gooey spread is great for appetizers, such as spreading on crostini or toast points.  It's also delicious on a hamburger and many other types of sandwiches.
