Steps:
- Working in 2 batches, blanch the onions in a medium pot of boiling water for 3 minutes. Peel.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Cook, turning the onions over as they brown, until almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add the broth, vinegar, sugar and raisins and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened and the onions are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the salt and serve.
SWEET AND SOUR PEARL ONIONS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR
I have not made this version, but my Italian mother made a very similar dish when I a child. It was the only way I would eat onions. It was one of those things she just whipped together, and I never learned how. I hope this will duplicate my childhood memories of it. It is called Cipolline in Agrodolce in Italian.
