Glazed Bittersweet Onions
Ingredients
- 1 can (10 1/2 oz) condensed beef consomme
- 1 soup can water
- 2 lbs. small pearl onions, peeled
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 tsp lemon juice

Bring consomme and water to boil. Add onions, simmer 15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, cover; cooling broth. Drain onions, pat dry, set aside. Over medium heat, cook butter and sugar stirring constantly until caramel color. Stir in lemon juice, then onions, stirring to coat onions thoroughly and breaking up any bits of caramelized sugar.
