["To cook the jam -- Coarsely chop the onion. Melt 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in saucepan, add the chopped onion and cook over medium low heat. Stir every 3 - 5 minutes until caramelized and golden brown, about 20 minutes and up to 45 minutes. Adjust heat to prevent burning. Be patient and don't stir too often. Let the onion continue to turn color; you want the texture to be to the point it's almost melting.
