Title: Quick Fix in the Thermomix Onion jam review
Post by: achookwoman on January 07, 2012, 11:00:40 am
First of all i would like to say that this tastes great.

Given that the cooking time is 85 mins.  I think i would make double next time as the recipe only makes i cup.
The recipe is clear, simple and easy to follow.
I would like a weight measurement for the onions.  I weighed mine and they were 540g.

Will make again.

Uni,  I think it is part of a Ploughman's Lunch.  CC will be able to tell us ?

You usually eat "pickle" ( Branston type) and/or pickled onions with a ploughman's but onion jam would go down a treat.I LOVE onion jam but DH isn't keen,but I like smothering it in a butty on top of either cheese or cold meat. ;) Great to use in a toasted butty as well. ;D

Thanks CC.   I have made it for DH to have with grilled steak.   Perhaps on pizza?

I think your right Chookie, it enhances any savoury recipe.

I always have Thermomixer's onion jam in the fridge and add to recipes for a little flavour boost. Always add it to the gravy in bangers and mash.

oh dear!!  sitting here totally red faced ???  Almost within a couple of seconds I found the recipe in jams, etc. by thermixer- the Greg Malouf one, and thought that was the  one, you were referring to - had been looking previously in condiments.  As soon as I found it I thought that perhaps the post hadn't been seen yet given the short lapse of time and instead of saying that I found the recipe I saw the delete button  . . . .*hangs head sits in corner with face to wall!!* . . .. sorry!!!  should have left if there . . I'm learning!!

Thanks fundj - I do appreciate it and I'll certainly be giving it a go this afternoon!!

Had some for lunch today with steak, and DH gave it the his approval.  I had a bit also and for such a simple recipe it is good.

Goldfish, someone is always on the forum so even though you thought you had deleted it before anyone read it, not so  ;D ;D
You have to be very quick to get past Uni  ;D

I made this beautiful jam today. Chookie is right - I should have made a double batch.
I used it in a Donna Hay Recipe - Caramelised onion and pumpkin free form tart. Yummy.

Iam making this jam now, question might sound silly but how long does it last in the fridge?  :)

Helene has a similar recipe on the super kitchenmachine (http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/2009/3646/thermomix-onion-recipe.html) website. She says her recipe lasts for 10 days in the fridge. I've made her recipe and had it last much longer (weeks and weeks from memory) and it still made the delicious onion flan she mentions. 

I would expect the QFITT recipe would last at least 10 days as well but haven't made it yet.

I made Helene's recipe about one month ago and still have it in the fridge (forgot it was there, actually)  Will have to use it up as it is absolutely delicious - add it to sandwiches for my lunch as well as everything and anything else I can think of - would hate to lose it to old age!

I made this tonight and the flavours are lovely, but I think that chopping the onions for 5 sec on speed 5 is way to much, mine went to mush, I like to see a bit more onion structure in my jam! I think next time I will only chop them for maybe 2-3 sec and then hand slice a few as well to get some longer pieces in.
It simply looks quite ugly now, like brown sludge, rather annoying. Oh well, tastes great!

I haven't made this recipe PaulaM but I wouldn't chop onions for 5 seconds either.  Then again I don't know how many onions are in this recipe.  I became a 2 sec/speed 5 onion chopper from very on in my thermomix life.

I have lost count of how many times I have made this.   It is delicious.

I am currently making it again (this time to give away for a friends Dad).  I love adding to to anything for a flavour boost, I regularly have it on my sandwiches, I had it with steak last night and it would be great with a cheese board or on a tart etc.

At a high tea recently I had some caramilsed onion tarts.  I immediately though of the onion jam and how that would be a quick and easy substitute.

I made this on Saturday night and used it in an onion tart, crumbled some marinated goats cheese on top with some sprigs of thyme.

It was yum, lots of compliments!
