Garlic Jam

Garlic Jam recipe image
This roasted garlic jam transforms simple ingredients into a luxurious condiment perfect for spreading on crusty bread, topping burgers, or mixing into dips. By roasting whole heads of garlic and a halved onion, the natural sugars caramelize, creating a sweet, mellow, and savory flavor profile that is far milder than raw garlic. The texture is creamy and spreadable, making it an ideal appetizer or accompaniment to grilled meats and vegetables. It&# 226;ÂÂs a versatile, vegan-friendly recipe that adds a gourmet touch to everyday meals with minimal effort.
