RECIPE BACKSTORY
These glazed onions provide a bright note to counter all the heavy, dense flavors on the plate. I've taken to preparing 2 pounds each year; they always disappear. Incidentally, they're pretty indestructible and can be prepared well in advance, and they reheat well on stove top or in the oven. Nice trick for the holiday cooking space crunch.
