How to Make Sweet And Sour Onions With Craisins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Thinly slice the onions.
  3. Heat the butter and oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the bay leaves and cloves.
  4. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  5. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly reduced.
  6. Stir in the brown sugar, 150ml of the broth, salt, and pepper.
  7. Bring to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the onions are very tender and caramelized, stirring occasionally and adding more broth if needed to prevent drying out.
  9. Remove from the oven and stir in the chopped parsley and craisins.
  10. Simmer on the stovetop for 1 minute to heat through.
  11. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
