    Tasty mush. Thicker slices next time maybe

  5. This happens when the onion is cut in rings.

    Next time cut the onion into strips lengthwise (root end to stem)

    Oohh you got it jammy! I actually prefer it that way, it means you caramelized it really well. Some people prefer the onions to be a bit more intact, to each their own

    You made a good looking onion jam for your first attempt. Caramelized onions are completely recognizable as onion slices. Honestly, if you have the time, a mandoline, a slow cooker, and a three pound bag of medium to small onions will result in perfectly caramelized onions.

    If you tried to make onion soup out of that, you’d have what Lipton’s Onion Soup mix tastes like if you dissolve it in hot water instead of sour cream. Attached is the last batch of slow cooker onions I made. They’re soft enough you can use them as is, or cook them into a dish to give some flavor without them disintegrating.

    I wouldn’t have known what it was without being told. Not that this is a problem, just saying.

    Really depends on the use, but most people would cut them a little thicker and probably use a little less moisture to carmelize.

    I use a cast iron with very little butter and just let the onion juice do the work and I end up with far less paste.

    I’m sure the taste is great, though, and probably would be really good in chili, etc.
