Spring Onion Recipe, Homemade Jam
How to make spring onion season last a lifetime? Just make jam.
Every year, there's a frenzy around the first spring onions. And every year, the problem remains that their season is just too short. With this recipe from Oregon blogger Eva Kosmas Flores's beautifully styled new book, First We Eat, you'll capture the fleeting alliums by cooking them down with sherry vinegar to make a condiment that works just as well on toast as it does over an equally springy lamb chop.

- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 pound spring onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1½ teaspoons flake kosher sea salt

- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and 1 tablespoon of the oil, and reduce the heat to low. Cook, uncovered, until the onions soften, about 10 minutes.
