{Maple Whisky Onion Jam}

This recipe is inspired by Awn Kitchen’s delicious breakfast sandwich made with a farm egg, sausage patty and of course homemade onion jam. Easy-to-make with a just a little time, this condiment is super versatile.

You can use it on sandwiches, grilled cheese, burgers, with crackers, on cheeseboards, or as a topping on grilled chicken or salmon– pretty much whatever your taste buds desire! You can’t miss with this savoury spread which stores in the refrigerator for up to a month.
