Orange-Glazed Pearl Onions

Suit yourself - fresh or frozen.  This is a fine addition to turkey and is wonderful on the holiday table.

• 2 pounds frozen pearl onions (can use fresh*)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 cup orange marmalade
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chives
• pinch cayenne pepper

METHOD

Cook onions according to instructions on bag until tender. Drain well. (*If using fresh; Blanch onions in boiling water for one minute- allow to cool a little until they are safe to handle; peel onions and boil in water that is lightly salted for 10-12 minutes, till the onions are tender-drain.)  Set onions aside.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic slivers, and cook, stirring, for less than a minute, just until slivers are golden; add marmalade and stir until melted.

Add onions, pepper and the pinch of cayenne, and continue stirring until marmalade starts to thicken and the onions are evenly coated.  stir in the chives and move to a serving dish. Recipe can be halved

Serves: 8
