A fall condiment with citrus spice

September 16, 2024

This community cookbook staple delivers a much happier ending than its biblical namesake to whatever grilled or roasted meats you choose to pair with it. The charred Vidalia onion lends a sweet and smoky flavor to this versatile sauce, and is balanced with a little spice from the horseradish and mustard, plus bright notes of citrus that keep it well out of cloying territory.

Chunky Sweet Onion Jezebel Sauce (Yield: One Cup)

Ingredients

- 1 small Vidalia onion
- 1 tsp. vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp. grainy mustard
- 3 tbsp. prepared horseradish, drained
- 1⁄4 cup apple jelly
- 1⁄4 cup pineapple preserves
- 1⁄2 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice

Preparation

Trim the ends from the onion and cut into 4 rounds about 1⁄2 inch thick. Remove the skins.
Place a large cast-iron skillet over high heat and add the oil. Add the onion slices and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, until well charred and soft.
Transfer the onion slices to a cutting board and finely chop. Put in a mixing bowl with the mustard, horseradish, apple jelly, pineapple preserves, lemon zest, and lemon juice, stirring well to combine. Let cool to room temperature.
Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Serve at room temperature. Store any remaining sauce in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 1 week.
