Crock pot onion jam

I was inspired to try my onion jam in the crock pot after seeing the idea in a cookbook recently. While there
are a few steps so it isn't a crock pot recipe I can leave alone all day, I like that unlike doing this in a saucepan I can walk away and not worry about burning anything, plus it leaves me room on my stovetop for other things.

Crock Pot Onion Jam Recipe:

Equipment: crock pot, large canning pot and rack or large stock pot with pasta insert, canning jars (sterilized), jar lifter, canning funnel (sterilized)


Ingredients:

• 2 pounds large chopped sweet onions, such as Walla Walla
• one cup good balsamic vinegar
• one cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. sea salt
• 1 Tbsp. butter

 Directions:

• Set crockpot on high setting, put in onions, butter and salt and let cook down until carmelized.
• Add balsamic and sugar, let cook down until reduced by half.
• Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer an hour or two.
• Check for gelling by running a spoon along the bottom of mixture. If it leaves a trail that stays a few moments, it's gelled.
• Bring canning pot/stock pot of water to a boil and sterilize your jars.
• Funnel ingredients into jars leaving 1/2 in. head room, wipe rims with paper towel and screw lids on
• Place jars on rack/pasta insert in canning pot/stock pot and boil 15 minutes.
• Remove and leave undisturbed.
