Onion Jam

Ingredients:
-1 tbsp. olive oil
-1 lb. onions (I mixed red, yellow, and shallots), all sliced thinly
 -2 tbsp. brown sugar

-2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
-1/3 cup dry red wine
-1/8 cup water
-salt and pepper

Method:
In a large skillet over medium, heat the oil. Once hot, add onions and saute for 5-8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes (stirring often) until the onions are slightly brown.

Add the sugar and stir until it's dissolved. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil, stirring. Add wine and continue to boil and stir. Add the water and cook, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated and it's become thick (about 5 minutes), continuing to stir. Taste and see if you like more salt and pepper, then put in a jar and let it cool. Store in refrigerator.
