-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 lbs small onions
olive oil
1 c raisins
1/4 c vinegar
2 tsps brown sugar
thyme branch or bay leaf (optional)

Take onions, cut an X in the root end, and blanch them in boiling water for
30 seconds. Rremove the skins, saute them in olive oil for a few minutes,
add water to a depth of about an inch, and cook until they soften a bit,
about 10 minutes.
Then add raisins, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper; cover and simmer slowly
for around an hour until the onions are golden and tender. If there is
excess liquid in the pan after an hour, remove the lid, raise the heat
slightly and cook until the liquid remaining is thick and syrupy.
You may add a thyme branch or a bay leaf to the simmering onions.
