VIDALIA ONION AND GARLIC JAM



Vidalia Onion And Garlic Jam image

This pungent jam softens and spices the taste of beef, pork, chicken or lamb when rubbed on either side of the meat about an hour before grilling. Wipe excess jam off before grilling over hot coals as it becomes bitter. It also makes a fine substitute for butter or oil on slices of crusty bread, can be used in place of mayonnaise on meat sandwiches or in place of tomato sauce on pizzas.
