Spicy Pearl Onions
3 containers, 10 ounces each pearl onions
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
2 teaspoons raspberry vinegar
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) or 1 teaspoon chipotle chile puree
In deep 12-inch skillet, heat 1 inch water to boiling over high heat. Add
onions; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 to 10 minutes
until onions are tender; drain well. Wipe skillet dry.
Peel onions, leaving a little of the root ends to help onions hold their shape
during glazing. Let onions cool slightly; cover and refrigerate until ready to
serve.
To complete, in 12-inch skillet, heat brown sugar and remaining ingredients over
high heat until melted, stirring often. Add onions and cook until onions are
browned and glazed, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
