Melt-in-your-mouth tender and sweet as can be, caramelized onions are a great accompaniment to a cheese plate with roasted garlic cloves and fruit chutneys or used top everything from barbecued brats to coddled eggs.

  1. Melt butter in medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 10 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, add sherry and salt and cook until very soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
