   • Start by blanching the sweet onions in hot water for about 3 minutes. This process helps to soften the onions and makes it easier to remove the skins later.

2. Remove Skins:

   • Once blanched, carefully remove the onions from the hot water and peel off the outer skins. You’ll notice how effortlessly the skins come off, leaving you with beautifully tender onions.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the salt and sugar, stirring until well combined. The addition of sugar adds a touch of sweetness that perfectly complements the natural flavors of the onions.

4. Add Water:

   • Gradually pour in the water, stirring continuously to create a smooth, savory sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until everything is well blended and the flavors have melded together, creating a rich and delicious sauce.

5. Coat the Onions:

   • Once the sauce is ready, add the blanched onions to the skillet, ensuring they are coated evenly with the flavorful sauce. Let the onions simmer in the sauce for a few minutes, allowing them to soak up all the delicious flavors.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Transfer the sweet onions to a serving dish and serve them alongside your favorite holiday turkey or chicken dish. The sweet and savory flavors of these onions are sure to be a hit with your family and guests, making them a standout addition to any meal!

Tips:

• For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs such as parsley or thyme to the sauce before adding the onions.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer the mixture for a few additional minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply reheat them gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
