Directions:
1. Bring pot of salted water to boil. Add onions. Cook 3 minutes to loosen skins. Drain and cool. Cut root ends from onions. Squeeze onions at stem end to slip them out of their skins.
2. Combine onions, Sherry, raisins, honey, water, butter, and thyme in a large heavy skillet. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to very low. Cover and simmer until onions begin to caramelize, stirring often, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
3. Onions can be prepared to this point. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat over low before continuing.
4. Stir in almonds and vinegar. Add a few teaspoons of water if too dry. Serve warm.

Personal Notes:
This is a "staple" for our Christmas menu. Leftovers can be tranformed into a great chutney. Simply cook with diced Granny Smith apples and add some crushed red pepper. Also goes well with ham for Easter.
