List of Ingredients
All onions become sweeter with caramelization. We often use yellow onions to test our recipes, although white and red varieties work well, too.
1 pound of onions yields about 3 cups vertically sliced onion.
3 cups slivered onion yield about 1 cup caramelized onion.
8 cups slivered onion yield about 2-1/2 to 3 cups caramelized onion.Recipe
Stir occasionally during the first 5 minutes of caramelization, then more frequently during the last 10 or so minutes. It's important to keep the onions moving.
The onions should be a deep golden brown, but not burned, so watch them closely.
Onions need lots of space to caramelize, so make sure your pan is large enough. Use a 12-inch skillet to caramelize 3 cups of onions; use a Dutch oven to caramelize 4 cups or more.
