Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 sweet yellow onions, sliced as thinly as possible
Salt to taste
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
scant 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Leaves from 2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

1

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and a large pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until almost all the liquid has boiled away and the onions are a pale blond color.
2

Add balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, orange zest, and thyme. Return to a boil and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced and thickened to a jam-like consistency. Taste and adjust the salt, if necessary.
3

Serve warm with bread and cheese, or at room temperature with almost anything else. The jam will keep in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to 5 days.
