Nanny’s Baked Sweet Onions come from my beloved mother-in-law Nancy, who is now in heaven. We make these on holidays or special occasions, and they are always a welcome dish with not a leftover to be had. They are perfect alongside a marvelous prime rib, grilled steak, ham and of course turkey.
I hope this recipe becomes a tradition in your family.
