By Yankee Magazine|Feb 03 2008|
Ingredients
Caramelized Onions
6 to 8 Spanish onions (about 2 1/2 pounds) 3 to 4 inches in diameter, stem and root ends removed, peeled and left whole
4 ounces butter (1 stick)
a 10-ounce can unsalted chicken or vegetable broth
In a slow cooker (crock pot), set on low, place onions, butter, and broth. Cook until the onions are deep golden brown and very soft–12 to 14 hours.
Drain and reserve the broth for the soup. Wrap the onions in plastic wrap and store in a freezer weight zip-seal bag for up to 2 weeks refrigerated, up to a year frozen.
