I always have pearl onions on hand to add to stews and vegetable dishes—they're great pickled too. Every Thanksgiving, I make this glazed onion dish. It can easily be made ahead and reheated. —Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

Test Kitchen Tips
  • Balsamic or red wine vinegar can be substituted for the cider vinegar.
  • As this dish cooks and the liquid evaporates, the onions become mellow in flavor and coated with a balanced, buttery sauce.
  • Frozen pearl onions are a joy to work with because they're already peeled. You don't even have to thaw them first.
  • These onions make a surprisingly delicious addition to any holiday plate. Eat them alone or scoop them up with a bite of turkey, pork or chicken.
