Enhanced Parsnip and Onion Jam

Ingredients

• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Ground nutmeg (1/4 teaspoon)
• Ground cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
• Apple cider vinegar (1/4 cup)
• Brown sugar (1/2 cup)
• Onions (2 large, sliced)
• Parsnips (3 medium, peeled and grated)

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
3. Stir in the grated parsnips and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, until the parsnips are tender and well mixed with the onions.
4. Next, add the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, until the jam thickens and reaches a spreadable consistency.
6. Once thickened, remove the skillet from heat and allow the jam to cool completely.
7. Transfer the cooled jam to a clean jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
8. Serve the parsnip and onion jam as a condiment with cheese boards, crackers, sandwiches, or alongside roasted meats for a burst of flavor.
