Sweet and Sour Pearl Onions With Balsamic Vinegar image

I have not made this version, but my Italian mother made a very similar dish when I a child. It was the only way I would eat onions. It was one of those things she just whipped together, and I never learned how. I hope this will duplicate my childhood memories of it. It is called Cipolline in Agrodolce in Italian.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs white pearl onions
2 cups meat stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

I found the onions to be a bit tough. I think I would cook them for a little longer next time.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I substituted honey for the sugar and they turned out great! I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
