Despite the risks, we’re firm believers in the “don’t knock it until you’ve tried it” saying.
Sure, sometimes we go for a new recipe, and it turns out to be a total miss. But not this time.
This time, we took a leap of faith and tried an onion jam recipe.
Spoiler alert: it was ridiculously good!
Onion jelly makes for a fantastic sandwich spread, pizza topping, or salad dressing. You can even pop it on a charcuterie board and enjoy it with crackers and cheese.
