Concord Grape Onion Jam
No one in our family cares much about Concord grape jelly but as a savory jam with onion and balsamic vinegar on goat cheese, it’s a whole different story. The jam is delicious with blue cheese, Camembert, or Brie. The jam is moderately sweet but you can add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter.
INGRIDIENT
DIRECTION
Step: 1
Immerse a jar with a tight fitting lid in simmering water until grape jam is ready. Wash lid in warm, soapy water.
Step: 2
Place grapes in a saucepan and crush with a potato masher until they begin to release some juice. Cover and cook over low heat until grapes are very soft and can be easily crushed, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step: 3
Push grapes and all of the accumulated juice through a food mill or a fine mesh strainer. Extract as much pulp and juice as you can and return back to the saucepan. This should yield a generous 2 cups pulp. Discard leftover seeds.
Step: 4
Add onion, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar to grape pulp and mix until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce temperature to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally at the beginning and then more regularly to prevent scorching, until jam is thick, about 30 minutes. (Do not overcook–jam will thicken more as it cools.)
Step: 5
Pour hot jam into the sterilized jar, seal tightly with the clean lid, and allow to cool. Store in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks.

One of most obvious way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.
One make sure is also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can made a dish do more often .
