Boiled onions have always been a traditional part of my family's Thanksgiving dinner. I always assumed it was a mainstay holiday side dish for evey family in Amerca, but since I've gotten 'out in the world' see that I was mistaken. SO - I'm posting this recipe because boiled onions are AWESOME and I hope to hear from other New Englanders who agree with me. I don't wait for Thanksgiving but serve them several times a year.

Ingredients

10 serv.

onions (white, yellow, or vidalia)↗2 lbs
margarine (I use Smart Balance Light) or 1 tablespoon butter↗1 tablespoon
sugar (adjust according to your preference, if using Vidalia or other sweet onions, can cut the sugar in ha)1 tablespoon

Step-by-step instructions

1
Wash onions, trim ends and remove outer layer (keep whole).
