We were serve a roasted garlic onion jam as an appetizer, on pieces of bread with a smear of Brie cheese. What a tasty delight. I bought a jar of it the next day...$9 for an 8 oz jar. Needless to say after a glance at the ingredient list I was sure I could create an acceptable version at a much lower cost. Read more . I use this on sandwiches, my favorite is a bacon, lettuce, sundried tomato jam and roasted garlic onion jam sandwich. It is also great as an appetizer or snack on crackers or bread with or without a bit of gorgonzola, Brie, or a good Chevre goat cheese. Ingredients:
