Directions

Place onions in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to boil; cook until onions are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; slip off skins.
Melt butter and sugar in a deep skillet over medium heat. Stir in water and skinned onions. Cook, stirring, until onions begin to color, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the almonds into the skillet. Cook and stir until onions are golden and almonds are lightly toasted, 4 to 5 additional minutes.

Fantaskulicious! These are delicious, which I think is fantastic. I have made this recipe twice now. The were served at Thanksgiving in place of the creamed onions and everyone agreed that this should be the new onion dish we have. I have also giving the recipe out twice now! Easy, fast and yummy, what else could I ask for? Thanks so much Decaf!

Wow my husband and I really loved this dish. Only gave it 4 stars because the onion flavor was very strong. My kids would not touch this because of the "o" word. Never heard of this before, but will find a way to modify the onion taste in the future.
