Wheat Free Caramelized Onion Jam
Sweet, deeply savory, and impossibly rich, this caramelized onion jam is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more special. Low and slow is the whole philosophy here — butter, onions, and patience do the heavy lifting, coaxing out a natural sweetness that no shortcut can replicate. A splash of apple cider vinegar and a drizzle of honey bring just enough brightness and depth to balance all that caramel richness, while fresh thyme keeps it grounded and aromatic. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of wheat, so there's no need to swap anything out or second-guess a label — it's straightforwardly safe as written. Spoon it over a cheese board, tuck it into a grain bowl, stir it into a sauce, or pile it onto a burger — this jam earns its place in just about any meal. Make a batch on the weekend and you'll find yourself reaching for the jar all week long.

Add the sliced onions and salt, tossing to coat. Cook over medium heat, stirring every 3–4 minutes, until the onions have fully wilted and turned pale gold, about 20 minutes. If the onions begin to stick or brown unevenly before they have softened, add 1 tbsp of water and scrape up any fond.
