A wonderful relish-like vegetable dish. This dish can be made 6 hours ahead, and rewarmed before serving. Sherry wine vinegar can be substituted for red wine vinegar.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds pearl onions
1 cup dry sherry
½ cup raisins
¼ cup honey
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
⅔ cup toasted slivered almonds
4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add onions, and cook 3 minutes to loosen skins. Drain, and cool slightly. Cut root ends from onions. Squeeze onions at stem end (onions will slip out of skins).
  • Combine pearl onions, sherry, raisins, honey, water, butter or margarine, and thyme in a heavy large skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to very low, and cover. Simmer until liquid evaporates and onions begin to caramelize, stirring often, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before continuing.
  • Stir almonds and vinegar into onions. Add a few teaspoons of water if mixture is too dry. Serve warm.

These onions are a great way to use up leftover pearl onions. I like to add them to salads, soups, and stir-fries. They're also a great addition to a cheeseboard.

I love this recipe! The onions are always so tender and flavorful. I often add a bit of chopped fresh thyme to the glaze for an extra pop of flavor.

These onions were delicious! I used a mix of red and white pearl onions, and they were all cooked evenly. The glaze was also perfect - not too sweet, not too tangy. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
