Red, White and Leek Onion Jam

 Red, White and Leek Onion Jam

This is my original recipe. I am posting this before I lose it again!

2 cups leeks, washed well and sliced thin (1/4")
2 cups red onion (1 large)  sliced thin (1/4")
6 cups sweet onion (4 large)  sliced thin (1/4")
1/4 cup garlic oil
4 cloves garlic , peeled and minced
1/4 cup grenadine syrup - recipe at

3 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 cup pomagranite balsamic vinegar (can use plain also)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Wash, peel, and slice onions and leeks into 1/4-inch slices.  Using a mandolin speeds up the process.  In a heavy pot, mix the leeks, onions, garlic oil and garlic.  Cook over medium heat until translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Cook 35 minutes until all liquid has evaporated.  Ladle into clean jars.  Seal.  When cool refrigerate about 3 weeks.
