Caramelized Sweet Onions
Caramelized sweet onions are easy to prepare - they just take a little time. The trick is to cook them low and slow until all their natural sugars are released and they become sweet and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 T unsalted butter
- 2 large RealSweet® onions, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 T brown sugar
- 1 T sherry vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Add butter to a large skillet over medium-low heat. When melted, add onions and stir until well coated in butter.
- When onions are turning transparent, after about 10 minutes of cooking, stir in brown sugar and sherry vinegar.
- Continue cooking for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until onions are well caramelized. Stir in salt and pepper.
