Preparation

Step 1

Tomato jam: in a large saucepan over low heat, simmer all ingredients for about 4 hours or until mixture resembles a jam.

Caramelized onions: in a skillet, heat oil over low heat, and brown onions until caramelized, about 30 min. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Burgers: in a bowl, mix all ingredients. Make four patties and grill until meat is cooked, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Assemble burgers: slice each bread horizontally and toast. Spread bottom half of bread with tomato jam. Top with patties, cheese, caramelized onions and lettuce. Spread top halves of bread with mayonnaise, and press on top of burgers.
