French Canadian Onion Confit - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
6 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons grenadine
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Preparation

In a large frying pan, melt the butter and cook the onions very slowly, until they begin to brown. This should take about 30 minutes.
Press the browned onions to remove the excess butter and drain the pan of the surplus butter.
Add the remaining ingredients. Cook slowly, uncovered, over low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the onions are very dark or almost black. Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Makes 1 cup to serve 4 to 6 as a condiment.
