4 lb white pearl onions, unpeeled
½ c sugar
8 T butter, cut in pieces

Directions:
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, then add 2 generous pinches of salt. Add onions and cook until soft when pierced, 15-20 minutes. Drain onions in a colander and set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel onions by trimming root ends and slipping them out of their skins, then transfer to a large heatproof baking dish, spreading onions out in a single even layer.

Preheat broiler. Put sugar and ⅔ c water into a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, cover pot and boil, swirling pan over heat several times, until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add butter and 1 tsp salt and heat, swirling pan occasionally, until butter melts, about 5 minutes more.

Pour sugar-butter mixture over onions and broil, basting and turning onions frequently, until onions brown and syrup turns pale golden, 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with parsley sprigs.

Note: You can also use frozen, already peeled, pearl onion.

Aunt Bevie really likes these or at least she keeps talking about them!

When I make these at Thanksgiving I save some of the liquid from cooking the onions for Aunt Bevie to use in making the gravy. Adds great flavor to the gravy!
