Family Recipe for Creamed Onions
Ingredients:
1 bag pearl onions
1 can evaporated milk
1/4 cup butter
1 bay leaf
1 pinch clove
1 pinch cinnamon
sugar to taste
salt
pepper
2 t corn starch (optional)
Directions:
Fill a medium size pot with water, add some salt and sugar, and bring to a boil. Toss in onions (skins and all) and boil for 4 - 6 minutes. Drain onions, rinse with cool water, and peel them.
Melt butter in medium size pot over low heat. Add sugar, spices, and evaporated milk, reserving 1 Tablespoon. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved. Add onions, and continue to whisk frequently over low heat. Combine reserved evaporated milk and cornstarch, mix well, and add to onions. Continue whisking frequently over low heat until dish is warmed through.
Note: I feel this dish gets better the longer it sits (either in the fridge overnight or on the back burner over low heat being whisked frequently while other dishes are prepared).
