A batch of slow cooker onion jam is a great way to turn any excess into a large batch of delicious, caramelized onions. Use onion jam to garnish steak or pork tenderloin, as a chip and cracker dip, or as a burger or sandwich topping.

1tablespoon olive oil
1-1/2 lbs Veggie Box red onions, sliced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger
6 cloves Veggie Box garlic, minced
salt
cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil 1 -1/2 lbs Veggie Box red onions, sliced 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger 6 cloves Veggie Box garlic, minced

Add oil and onion to crock pot; stir to coat. Cook on low for approx 8 hours (flavors will continue to develop the longer it cooks). Leave lid slightly askew or vented so some moisture will cook out. Stir occasionally to help break down onion and check bottom.

After onions have carmelized (turned completely soft, translucent and jammy, and smell very sweet), remove lid and increase heat to high. Add balsamic vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, lid off, for at least another hour until reduced to jam consistency.
