This looks very good, I was wondering, my sweety prefers the pearl onions to slices of red onions would that upset the chemisty of the process itself?


This does look and sound amazing. Great idea for Christmas gifts. High 5 my friend. Thanks for the recipe.


Thanks for a great one, Pat. I love these type of things for gifts. ^5

My neighbor use to make something like this and it was wonderful, glad I can now make it myself as she doesn't live here anymore and I never did get her recipe, she wouldn't share :( You have my 5
