Spicy Onion Pear Jam

Todays recipe is adapted from La Mia Cucina, the blog that belonged to the original Daring Baker,  Lisa Cifelli. She recently passed away and in her memory many Daring Bakers and old time bloggers posted gorgeous bakes soon after...  I did not know her personally or even otherwise but was led to her space and this particular Onion-Pear Jam several times in the past few weeks. It looked too interesting to pass off. So I adjusted today's menu and decided to give it a try..


It turned out even more gorgeous than I had imagined.


The original recipe is from Peabody and she says that Lisa apparently loved it so much that every year she would make a Bluecheese cheesecake with Pear-Onion Jam for her Christmas parties. I wasn't very keen on making a cheesecake today, so I simply served it over herbed Manchego cheese souffle and we devoured it like there was no tomorrow..
