Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeƱo along with the onions. If you prefer a smokier flavor, try using smoked bacon or adding a dash of liquid smoke. You can also experiment with different types of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar, for a different tang. For a sweeter jam, increase the amount of maple syrup or add a tablespoon of honey. If you like a smoother texture, pulse the finished jam in a food processor a few times.
