Ingredients: 1
pound pearl onions (skinless)
1
tablespoon butter
1/4
cup corn syrup
2
tbsp water
1
tbsp lemon juice
1/3
tsp salt
1/4
tsp ground black pepper
Preparation: 1.
In a large heavy pot over moderate heat, melt butter, add corn syrup, water,
lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until thick enough to stick
to a spoon (about consistency of honey).
2.
Add pearl onions to the glaze and cook for about 4-5 minutes.

TIP:
When peeling a pearl onions, soak them for a minute or two in boiling water,
then rinse under cold water. The skins will then slip off easily.
