Instructions
allspice onion jam:
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium sauce pan – once melted, add onions and salt. Cook for 10 minutes until onions are initially softened, then add the allspice. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add brown sugar and lemon juice; continue to cook for 20 minutes over low heat until most of the liquid is cooked off. Refrigerate to set for at least 1 hour. Jam can be stored in the refrigerator for one month or in the freezer for up to 6.
roast beef sandwiches:
Take two slices of bread of choice. Lightly spread mayo on one side of both pieces of bread, then add 2 tbsp of allspice onion jam to one of the slices. Don’t be shy!
On other piece of bread, place one slice of havarti cheese and then layer with 2-3 ounces of roast beef. Place both sides together and enjoy some sandwichey deliciousness!
