Balsamic-Glazed Pearl Onions

Ingredients

• 2 bags (10 ounces each) red or white pearl onions (or a combination of both)
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Instructions

1. 1
   Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Cut an X in stem end of each onion, and when water reaches a boil, place ones in water for one minute. Drain. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then carefully peel, leaving root and stem ends intact.
2. 2
   In a large skillet, combine onions, wine, butter, and 1 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until onions are tender and liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes (if onions are large, increase cooking time and add more water).
3. 3
   Add vinegar and cook until sauce thickens and onions are glazed, 2 to 3 minutes.
