Hi, I am new to this site and I must say I could spend all day on all the information and recipes. I would like to know how to carmelize onions and any recipes that would use them.
Thanks.

You are so right low and slow as at first you need to let the onions evaporate the moisture before they can bring out the natural sugar so they can brown. Cooking them low allows them to caramel evenly don't be afraid to stir them when they are browning to get them cooked evenly.i have a killer onion soup recipe. use sweet onions. little butter in large pan and sliced onion,thin,this recipe says low and slow to caramalize the onions. give a depth of flavor that is really really excellent. serve with corn bread.

I make a caramelised red onion jam that is just so simple and tastes great with cheeses and cold meats or even as a condiment for a steak sandwich.
Dice red onions place in sturdy saucepan, turn on air extractor, pour in sufficient quantity of balsamic vinegar (should be of decent quality but doesn't need to be the best going) to cover the your onion. Boil until liquid reduced, and then simmer until onion cooked and takes on a jam like consistency. Allow to cool and bottle in sterilised jars. Will keep for months in cupboard and even longer in fridge.

Air extractor??
Clienta, you may also want to try cranberry and caramelised red onion chutney. Got served that in a restaurant with duck pate. Yummy!!!!
